Left my frozen food out all night!!!

[Reef Devils]

I Left my frozen food out all night!!! It is not frozen anymore and did it go bad? Probably not a big deal but don’t want to feed fish bad food.

I would never use that. On a side note, I left a TV dinner out all nite and I’ll just toss it in the back seat and reheat it for lunch at 2 at work

after all, it was frozen recently and hasn’t been unsealed.

Smell it. I re-froze mysis once that thawed out. No issues.

I’m in jerk mode this morning lol rough nite

For sure thousands of people have done that and their fish didn’t die, but they didn’t tell us if their tummy hurt either

but in all manner of food handling, processing and safety science in any material we can possibly find: it’s bad. I used to run the bac lab at a beef processing plant in plainview tx hence my eternal skepticism on all things frozen and thawed then refrozen and consumed.

lactobacillus in beef skyrockets that way, mega rockets to uncountable colony levels. To meet fda requirements we were required to do freeze thaw refreeze colony count testing weekly.

I assume reef food prep is less stringent than human food prep

I put I back in the freezer and I will continue feeding it to the fish. Hope they like it

Ha that’s awesome, it’s deeply caring for both science and animal, thought provoking in fact. Clearly a strategic move

I have had frozen mysis shipped that arrived thawed out and always used it....not that it answers your question either way lol.

 

[exnisstech]

I've done this several times and always refreeze it with no ill effects. I've even left food thawing in RO water over night and fed it as well.

Taste it to see if it seems off and report back.

It had a little fishy taste to it. Is that normal???!?!?!! Lol

Better check another cube to see if it’s consistent.

It is about the same!!!

If this was a Tomahawkbone steak or NYsteak left outside would you eat it lol, .... it's entirely your choice
