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 tess than that of many other foods° Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can:'
