Should I throw out my food?

We are having some funky power outages here that last like...12 hours. I had some MorningStar Farms庐 Meal Starters庐 Grillers庐 Recipe Crumbles鈩?in my freezer and I don't know if they are still good. I don't have a freezer thermometer or a meat thermometer (shame on me I know.)



The first big outage was fine. All of our stuff still had ice on it and there was still frost in the freezer. I defrosted it afterwards so...I wouldn't know about the second time. I do know our ice cream didn't survive the second time but the milk in the fridge did. Should I throw everything else out (aka the "meat" in the freezer?)Should I throw out my food?
I would say just in case! So you don't get sick. I hate power outage's! Food spoils, and everything! Gah! My best advice is to just throw it out, you don't wanna get food poisoning or anything. Good luck!
Why not call the manufacturer of your foods and ask? I would think that, if they're meatless and were still cold after the power outages, they would still be good, but I'd call the people who would know for sure. (Plus, they'll probably send you some great coupons!)Should I throw out my food?
I'd first consider giving it to the local pigeons in parks and shopping areas, but throw it out if the Morning Star company says it's bad. You may call them, you know, on weekdays.
I would open it, smell it and if it smelled and looked OK I'd eat it. Just do it soon, don't refreeze it.Should I throw out my food?
since you defrosted your food after the first power outage and you had more for that time span, yes, I would throw it out
