DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD
Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed,
bacteria is re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely
defrosted food as soon as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and
ready-to-eat food.
