WARNING:
After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
9. Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they
still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below
40˚F”.
“…Thawed 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 discarded. If the odor or color of any food is
poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
