Wn’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.
“. . .Thawd ground meats, poultry
or fish that have
any
off-odor or
off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten.
Thawed
ice cream should be
discardd.
If
the odor or color of any food is
poor or questionable, get rid of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
“Even
partird
thawing and refreezing
reduce the eating quality of foods,
particularly fruits, vegetables and
prepared foods. The eating
quaiity
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:’
If your old
~igerator
is
still
around the house but not in use,
be sure to remove the doors.
This
will reduce the possibility of danger
to children.
