“. . .Thawd ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discardd. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

“Even partird thawing and refreezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quaiity of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can:’
