Jambo Zillas,

As long as the meat is frozen to touch and the surface temperature is indicating - 16°C then that is fine. This is what happens in Victoria (Australia).

Which part of Kenya are you from? I was born in Kisii Nyanza Province (Kenya).
Jambo Doctor,
I'm from Mombasa, thanks for the reply

It all depends on the regulations. I work in a federally registered meat plant in Canada and we have to follow standards set by the government. In our HACCP-based system it is recommended to have -18C (0F) or lower at all times since at this temperature all microbiological multiplication is stopped and enzymatic processes are at their minimum. If you are not heavily regulated, I agree with Dr Ajay Shah.
Dear all
I think most meat products regulations stated a storage temp. of -18°C. You have to validate the products microbiology at this condition.
