Frozen salmon food safety guidelines

Overview

Guidelines regarding the long-term storage of frozen salmon emphasize that the product remains microbiologically safe to consume indefinitely if kept continuously at -18 °C (0 °F) without interruption to the cold chain.

To ensure safety, the salmon should be eviscerated, rinsed, frozen flat, and hermetically sealed. While freezing prevents bacterial proliferation, it does not sterilize the food, making the maintenance of a constant temperature essential for long-term consumption.
