My ESB supply was off for approx. 10 hours yesterday - do I need to throw out the contents of my freezer ( lots of chicken!!!! )or would it still be safe to use ??
After something similar a number of years ago, we claimed off the house insurance for the loss of the food in the freezer.
Or you could cook the chicken and then freeze it.
Have often wondered about this. If we aren't suppose to refreeze does cooking the meat change that situation. I always err on the side of caution and don't refreeze.

It's perfectly acceptable to cook meals e.g. chicken curry, casserole etc. and then refreeze. Presumably any bacteria in the meat is killed by the cooking. What's not acceptable is to thaw the meal and then refreeze it. On another thread, people complained that they suspected the meat they were buying in some supermarkets was frozen but sold as fresh. I have complained on occasion, to a large supermarket, about exactly the same thing.
I always thought you weren't meant to refreeze meat even if cooked. i.e. using a defrosted frozen chicken for your casserole. Could be wrong though.
