Isn’t frozen food stuffed with preservatives?

Freezing food is an entirely natural process that has been around for thousands of years. Indeed the Romans used to keep their frozen food in ice cellars. And the ancient Chinese used frozen food 3,000 years ago. So, unlike other preserving techniques, it is not necessary to add preservatives when freezing food - the temperature alone acts as a preservative and minimizes bacterial growth. However, as with all foods, you should check the label before you buy. You will see that the packaging on frozen meals and frozen ready meals carries clear labelling about ingredients.
