10 Good Foods That Turn Bad in The Freezer

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

7. Some Dairy Products

You must already know that whipped cream, milk in its container, fatty cheese, and high-fat cream are all able to freeze beautifully.

However, be wary of freezing other dairy products, such as soft cheeses and creamy sauces (mayonnaise), because the very cold temperature can make them go watery and wasted over time.

6. Any Hot Food

It seems just too easy to throw your hot leftovers straight into the freezer once you’ve finished your meal. While actually, it’s very important for your own health to wait until the food has cooled down completely before you do so.

Placing hot food into the freezer will eventually lower the temperature of the freezer, which causes other foods to partially defrost and makes bacteria grow and spread.

5. Cucumbers Cereals

Cucumbers contain plenty of water, which means they will quickly lose both their texture and flavor once you defrost them after freezing.

And the same thing applies to any other high water-based vegetable, such as radishes, salad leaves, and spring greens.

4. Thawed Food

Refreezing thawed food could be quite dangerous and make you seriously ill, as bacteria multiply rapidly when the food is brought back to room temperature.

If you put it back in the freezer, the bacteria will survive and develop to reach highly harmful levels.

However, if you cook the ingredient after thawing it, you can then re-freeze the food since the bacteria would have been killed during the cooking process.

3. Tinned Food
