Question

I have been looking at your recipes. Can these be frozen after cooking. If so, is it ok to reheat by microwave or better by conventional oven. This is for my mum, so I want to make sure, I don't get it wrong.

Answer

We have a wide range of recipes to use with Nutricia supplements and where possible it would be advised to add the supplement directly before serving. For example, in soup and sauces the supplement could be added after it has been deforested and before it is warmed. It is advised that the supplement is not boiled as this can destroy some of the vitamins and minerals. However the product can be added to recipes and frozen, then defrosted and reheated. However, although the supplement would add extra energy we can not guarantee the vitamin and mineral status once it has been heated twice and frozen. The food/drink can be either reheated in a microwave or on the hob, but it would be advised not to let it boil. However it is important that food safety guidelines are always followed when re-heating food or drink.
