Frozen poultry refers to any type of poultry, including chicken, turkey, duck, and other birds, that has been frozen to preserve its quality and extend its shelf life. Frozen poultry is typically available in various forms, including whole birds, cut-up pieces, ground meat, and value-added products such as breaded chicken nuggets or turkey burgers.
Frozen poultry is processed and packaged using various methods, including blast freezing or IQF (Individual Quick Freezing), which quickly freezes each piece of poultry separately. The frozen poultry is then packaged in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed packaging to help preserve its quality and prevent freezer burn.
Frozen poultry is a popular food item due to its convenience, long shelf life, and versatility. It can be used in a wide range of dishes, from soups and stews to casseroles and sandwiches. Frozen poultry is widely available at grocery stores, supermarkets, and other retailers, and is often less expensive than fresh poultry.
