not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded If
the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get
rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat
"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduce the eating
quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and
prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is
affected lessthan that of many other foods. Use refrozen
foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating
quality as you can"
