A low temperature frozen food display case that allows a consumer to directly view a frozen product contained therein and which minimizes moisture loss from the frozen food. The display case provides an base member which defines a first portion of a cooling air passageway, side walls extending upwardly from the base member, inner and outer members which are sealed to the side walls and the base member and cooperate to define a second portion of the cooling air passageway. A rear wall defines a plurality of access openings which are selectively closed by pivotal doors. Each of the doors define a third portion of the cooling air passageway through which cooling air from an outlet of the passageway first portion is communicated to the passageway second portion. Food contained within the food storage compartment is not directly contacted by cold air which flows through the cooling airpassageway surrounding the storage compartment and, therefore, moisture loss is reduced.
