Other foods may need to be discarded. Check each package, and discard any if signs of spoilage such as an off color or off odor are present. Discard any packages that show signs of spoilage or that have reached room temperature. Re-freeze if they show no signs of spoilage. Thawed fruits may be used in cooking or making jellies, jams, or preserves.
Fruits survive thawing with the least damage to quality.
The texture of ice cream is not acceptable after thawing. They can be safely re-frozen if they show no signs of mold growth. To be prepared in case your freezer stops, plan ahead. Find out where the nearest commercial or institutional freezers are. Locate a source of dry ice.
