Is there a power cut in your home? Has your refrigerator stopped working during the night? Do you have qualms about food that was in the freezer?
Relax ,in that case you can use some easy tips for handling food safely.
Through the food away when it is thawed or warmed to room temperature. 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. The food will need to be cooked, because it won’t last as long as with a normal freezer.
Anything showing signs of freezer burn are also candidates for immediate disposal.
It’s not possible to prevent the occurrence of unexpected power interruptions due to weather or accidents, but it is possible to react properly in such cases.
