About frozen food
Done my bulk shopping only days ago so all my freezers nicely full to the top
I've had people staying with me over the past few days and Saturday night one turned off all my switches without realizing he had just unplugged my freezers. None of the food had thawed but it was unplugged for 8hrs all the same... not too sure about the food now, should I still chuck it out all the same
A lot of money gone down the drain if I must
so I'd really rather not ...
but I know, health wise must come first.... so anyone know for certain

went to italy and for joke he brought a norwegian frozen pizza (our pride haha)
to make them italian pizzeria employees have a taste. Yes, politely they pretended it was good....
This pizza had been unfrozen more than once, and nobody got sick as far as I could see.
I'd throw out any seafood.
If none of it thawed at all, you're fine.
If there was some thawing/warming, but you don't know what temperature it raised to, it gets a bit more complicated.
Low risk foods like vegetables and bread are unlikely to cause any problems as long as meat (particularly raw) juices haven't dripped on them. You might find re-freezing bread and veg reduces their quality, but they won't kill you.
It's really not a god idea to re-freeze raw meat if there has been even the slightest bit of thawing on the outside. You can however, defrost the raw meat in the fridge, cook it and re-freeze it safely.
Cooked meat shouldn't be re-frozen if there was any sign of thawing.
If it's defrosted in the switched off freezer for 8 hours, that's safe like defrosting it in the fridge over night.
You just have to remember that some seafood (like pink prawns) has already been cooked.

What else to say but when it comes to feeling the pinch, you & me both

Your comment reminds me of one of my favorite songs

But I've decided to dump it all the same.
Might I add, welcome to the blogs Jill
It doesn't happen very often, but you can't tell by looking at it, or sniffing it.
We had an outbreak of E.coli here about 20 years ago which started in a school kitchen and then spread like wildfire from one small child to another throughout the county. One wee lad died, many were hospitalised in intensive care units.
Bear in mind that even if the top millimeter layer of raw meat has defrosted and is then re-frozen, pathogens have the opportunity to multiply.
Seems every week the price of eggs are going up.....
thinking of investing in a few friends of feathers
Haven't seen you Mr Charming in awhile

i decided to have a break for a while
freezers are so important and i freeze bread often...cause it takes less than 24 hours to defrost it and you can toast from frozen

not only is the shopping going up weekly, but I believe we'll soon be charged for parking whilst shopping.

To reach my nearest shopping centre here I have to pay 2pouds each way,
so... I save some money and stay home instead
Its only food & health I value more besides, the owld freezers could do with a good gutting

Time to bid all a good night, I've someone to see about a
bogdogPs Jac, I sometimes cook and bring dinners down to my father so he won't be eating his same old boring dinners day in and out.... so if not my own, I've his better health to think about as well.
I can see how it's not worth the physical health risk as you said, but getting stressed everytime someone sinks their choppers into food you're not confident about is unhealthy too.
All good my end thought about moving again but nailed my toes to floor
Take care.
And given your below comment, one with a great imagination as well
You're one in a million, never change
Sweet dreams to you

But being careful does not mean I'm stressed.
I've since given the food away to some hungry folk who will only be too happy to sink their choppers in, so at least it did not end up as waste.
