Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be
dangerous to eat. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your
freezer has thawed:
– Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter
period than recommended.
– Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits
and some cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish,
poultry – use immediately or cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they
usually go limp and soggy.
– Thawed and warmer than 41°F (5°C) – discard all food.
