Help , I left my freezer door open

[BishBeCool]

Had the same thing happen some years ago. I freaked, called around, got good info but ultimately bad info from people erroring on the side of caution (which I appreciate) Called my local butcher and he said if it was still pretty cold to touch I was probably ok. We ate it, didn't die and didn't get sick. I don't remember if the quality of the meat was comprised or not so I'm guessing not... I hate to give you bad info and you get sick but this was my experience.

Dodged a bullet! Still cold, it's still good.

Still cold I wouldnt worry. Did this once right after buying a quarter of beef.

If it's cold it's good. Re freezing previously frozen meat is perfectly fine. The latter is nothing more than a wives tale.

Yeah, if it was all still cold, refreeze and don't worry.

Yep, if it's still cold to the touch, just re-freeze it. I often unthaw beef, or venison and refreeze.

Fish? Don't know about that other than cook now.
