4. 1. Frozen Food: Fishsticks
• Machines remove the fillets from the fish
• Fillets are formed into frozen blocks
• Through batter and breadcrumbs these blocks double their
thickness to the known form of fishsticks
• After passing them through hot vegetable oil the sticks are frozen
again
• After packaging the fishsticks are stored at -28°C

(without purchasing)
pastry consists of flour/yeast/salt/oil/sugar/ water consists of water/yeast/flour/salt/oil
production - pastry is milled
- formed
- freezer
- tomato sauce
- cheese
- covering
- oven to melt the cheese
- sausage at the end
- freezer for 30 min
-> you can eat it for 11 months
- packaging
-mix all the ingredients
-formed
-[no freezer]
-tomato sauce
-covering (as well sausage)
-cheese
- oven to bake the pizza
-[no freezer]
-> you can eat it for 3 days
The energy input of the home-made
pizza is less, because you don‘t freeze
it. Thus, home-made pizza is not just
more delicious than frozen pizza, it is
also better for our environment.

2. Pizza: survey consumption

13. The most bought frozen pizza in Germany:
“Wagner Steinofen Pizza” (with salami)
Ingredients: wheat flour, cut up tomatoes (28%), edam cheese
(17%), salami (12%) , water, rape oil, full-cream milk powder, yeast,
salt, sugar, herb , soya lecithin (also called E322) and dextrose
(emulsifiers: are needed for mixing water and oil)
→ No additives for better taste
→ No additives for longer storage
2. Pizza: survey consumption

14. • people who suffer from lactose intolerance cannot eat full-cream milk
powder
• people who are allergic to soya cannot eat soya lecithin
• sugar and dextrose are unhealthy and people get used to this sweet food
that is not good for their health
• they use cheap products (edam cheese and rape oil) instead of quality
ones (Emmenthaler and olive oil)
Frozen pizza is not the worst option for “emergency food” but
with home-made pizza you can choose your own ingredients and
have fun preparing it.
