Thawed Meat

[bowhunter1023]

I had another freezer mishap and the remaining ground venison I had thawed out. It was barely thawed and the freezer temp was still 43-44 degrees. I plugged it back in and everything is frozen again.

Question is, do you think it would be safe to make jerky out of that stuff? My gut says yes, but I don't want it telling me no when its TOO late! lmao

I think you'll be alright.

( mental note, don't eat any jerky Jesse brings to strouds )

I would myself. The temp didn't get low enough to cause damage. IMHO

I think it would be fine. If it didn't get all the way thawed and temp was still in the 40s. Your good

I think it would be fine. If you're still uneasy, make the dog jerky.

It'll be just fine. It will freezer burn faster now though so get to eating. Never in any danger of potential food borne illness.
