Correct Handling of Ice Cream

Davisons Ice Cream is a delicious, but delicate frozen food, which should never be allowed to rise above -18C. Scoop ice cream may be dispensed at -15C.

Ice cream is stored at colder temperatures than most frozen foods and needs special care. When ice cream is allowed to rise above these temperatures it will lead to "Heat Shock", where large ice crystals form and the product starts to shrink. These defects can never be reversed. When taking ice cream home always put it into your shopping cart last to minimise the time before you can put it back into your own freezer at home. If travelling time will be prolonged put ice cream into a cooler to take home.
