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 on food — food may be refrozen but should be stored for
a shorter period than recommended.
– Food thawed but still refrigerator cold (0 – 5°C) — 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.
– Food thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.
