Will the meat in your freezer be bad if was down?

It depends on the length of time the freezer power was out. Meat that has been kept frozen at 0° F or below will be safe indefinitely, as long as it has not been thawed. However, meat that has been thawed and refrozen may lose its quality and flavour.

If the freezer power has been out for less than 24 hours, the meat should still be safe to eat. However, it is important to cook it immediately and not refreeze it. If the freezer power has been out for longer than 24 hours, the meat should be discarded.

Here are some tips for handling meat during a power outage:

- Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible to prevent warm air from entering.

- If the power outage is expected to last for more than 24 hours, transfer the meat to a cooler filled with ice.

- Cook frozen meat immediately after the power is restored. Do not refreeze it.

- If you are not sure if the meat is still safe to eat, it is best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
