This freezing operation shall,be carried out in such a way that the range of temperature of maximum crystallization is passed,quickly. The quick freezing process shall not be regarded as complete unless and until the,product has reached -18oC (0oF) at the thermal centre after thermal stabilization.,The recognized practice of repacking quick frozen products under controlled conditions is,permitted.,2.3 Handling Practice,The product shall be handled under such conditions as will maintain the quality during,transportation, storage and distribution up to and including the time of final sale. It is,recommended that during storage, transportation, distribution and retail, the product will be,handled in accordance with the provisions in the Recommended International Code of Practice,for the Handling of Quick Frozen Foods (CAC/RCP 8-1976).,2.4 Presentation,2.4.1 Types only for the styles Whole:,(a) Long - any suitable variety of conical (e.g. Chantenay) or cylindrical (e.g.,Amsterdam) cultivars of carrot.,(b) Round - any suitable variety which has the appearance of spherical cultivar (e.g.,Paris Carrot).,2.4.2 Styles:,(a) Whole,Codex Alimentarius - 2 - Quick Frozen Carrots,Volume 5A CODEX STAN 140-1983,(i) Conical and cylindrical cultivars (e.g. Chantenay and Amsterdam types),- consist of carrots which, after processing, retain the approximate,conformation of a whole carrot.
