frozen food

Subzero supermarket items

Frozen food is food preserved by freezing, typically sold in supermarket freezer sections.

The category includes everything from vegetables and meats to complete prepared meals.

We stocked up on frozen food before the storm.

The term sometimes carries connotations of convenience over quality, though flash-freezing can preserve freshness better than refrigeration.
