Unpacking Livefoods
Bulk livefoods must be unpacked as soon as they arrive. The shipping container can be placed in a refrigerator for an hour or two in warm weather before unpacking to slow the livefoods down. To prevent escape, open the bag or box outdoors and tip the contents into a large plastic bucket or dustbin. Shake the livefoods off the egg carton or crumpled newspaper taking care to hold the paper below the rim of the bucket. The livefoods are then ready to be transferred to their storage container.
