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, poulb~
or fish that have a~~?y off-odor or
off-color should not be refrozen
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,
- ~egetab!es and prepared foods.
s= 1De eating quality of red meats is
affected less than that of many
other foods. ~~serefrozen foods
as soon as possible to save as [much
of their eating quality as you can."
