FROZEN FOOD USE BY DATES
Is there any danger in eating frozen food which is out of date? This
may sound a silly question, but my understanding of the processes involved is that: Freezing prevents any bacteria from multiplying. Cooking thoroughly kills any bacteria that might be present. If I am right there doesn't seem to be any reason for not eating the food, but I don't want to make people ill! Am I missing something here that I aught to know about food poisoning? |

Food abandoned by early arctic exploration expeditions has been discovered decades later and found to be good. I have to admit the only food I can recall being tasted was canned corned beef. I don't recall what any of the others were. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
