Don't refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
says:
".. .You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below 40"F.
".. .Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have
off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and
any
should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor
or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be
dangerous to eat.
"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality
of red meats is affected less than that of many other
foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to
save as much of their eating quality as you can."
