You may safely refre&e frozen
foods that have thawed if they still,
contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below 40°F. (Shellfish
cannot be kept above 1O°Fsafely
because of bacteria growth.)
Thawed ground meats,
Poultry,
or fishothathave any
~ff.odar or
off-color should not be refrozw
and 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
reduce 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–they
won't keep as long as foods frozen
only once, and the sooner they're
used, the better their eating will be.
~ if youro!dfreezer isstillaround
the housebut not in use, be sure
to remove the iid or door.This will
reduce the possibility of danger to
children.
