Dethawed Food

[DiscusKeeper403]

Hey guys.

Last night I left some food out over night (brine shrimp.) I got up, found it sitting on the table, and immediately stuck it back into the freezer. It should be fine for future use right?

Thanks,

DL

As long as it was cold it should be alright. It can spoil quick though.

Okay, thanks.

Overnight I would only refridgerate it and use it as soon possible. I don't trust refrozen food.

Hmmm... Maybe i'll just chuck it. It does get cold here overnight though. I think it was like 6 Celsius last night. Our apartment heaters are broken, so thats what the temperature was, or about that...

Keep it in the fridge and give them a little extra helpings fo afew days if you don't want to toss it. Depending on how much it thawed it could be safe. It's really a personal choice if you want to refreeze it or not. Everyone has their own opinions on what is safe and isn't. I don't even like taking scrapings off my cyclops for my fry because it causes the block to melt while I hold it though it hasn't done any harm yet with thawing/freezing, I'm still looking for a way to reduce even that.
