  > \*\*Why It Happens:\*\* Improperly stored food, such as uncovered items or items in containers that aren’t sealed correctly, can release moisture into the air inside the freezer. This moisture can then freeze, causing frost buildup around the freezer walls and on the food itself.
  > 
  > \*\*What You Can Do:\*\* Ensure that food is stored in airtight containers or freezer-safe bags. This will help contain moisture and prevent it from accumulating inside the freezer. Be mindful of how you pack the freezer to allow air to circulate freely.
