Details or Sample:
Has the power gone out at your house? Did you fridge break overnight? Are you worried about the food you had in the freezer?

Not to worry - there are some simple guidelines to food safety in such a situation.

If the food has been completely thawed or even warmed to room temperature, throw it away. If it has been kept at room temperature for more than two hours, throw it away.

If the food is mostly thawed, but still cold, cook it immediately. Foods that have been cooked may then be consumed or refrigerated for later use.

If the food still has ice crystals on it, you may refreeze it. If you do not have a freezer available, throw it in a cooler and add dry ice. You will not have the longevity that a normal freezer offers, and will need to cook these items.

Anything showing signs of freezer burn are also candidates for immediate disposal.

You can´t avoid sudden power outages caused by storms or accidents, but you can be prepared to deal with the results.
