This indicates that the package was thawed before
at least once. Take care that packages don't start to
thaw. Temperature rise shortens the storage time of
commercially frozen foods.
Approximate Storage Time of Frozen Foods
Defrosting of frozen food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used
as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but
it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly
activate themselves after defrosting and make foods
perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of
foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-
made meals.
