[Summary]

Ice cream is stored and distributed in a frozen state after undergoing a sterilization process, making bacterial growth difficult, so only the manufacturing date is indicated.

However, if the ice cream repeatedly melts and refreezes during distribution and storage, bacteria can proliferate, and over long-term storage, the fats in the ice cream can become rancid, leading to quality issues.

• It is especially advisable to avoid products with frost inside, products that are more than two years past their manufacturing date, packaging that is torn or deflated, or products with frost inside or deformed shapes.

It is recommended to consume ice cream once opened as soon as possible.
