Action to curb the overall carbon footprint of the food and agriculture sector must be done with care in the frozen category, as the quality of frozen foods reaching the consumer depends on a collaborative effort among all links in the supply chain. 

Following a 2022–2023 hepatitis A outbreak linked to contaminated frozen berries, New Zealand has issued new import rules for frozen berries to better ensure food safety.
