• 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:

but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
– Thawed but refrigerator cold – 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.
