Did You know September is National Food Safety Education Month?
We have been invited to spread the word on how to prevent foodborne illnesses, and we are happy to do it!
Unfortunately, sicknesses due to food injestion occur many times due to misconception or misinformation. So, let’s become myth busters, and protect our family from harm.
Let’s consider this myth:
I can’t re-freeze foods after I have thawed them. I have to cook the or throw them away.
Here is the fact:
Foods thawed in the refrigerator can be safely re-frozen without having to cook them. This includes meat,poultry, egg products and seafood.
However, you should never re-freeze foods that have been thawed other than the refrigerator like the kitchen counter or sink.
Same goes if you use the microwave or thaw in cool water.
Below is an interesting chart with more busted myths!
Just keep in mind when you are getting ready to prepare food that contamination takes place when bacteria comes in contact with your food. This is why we must ensure our work area, utensils, and person are clean!
Let’s get educated on food safety!

Super interesting and HELPFUL topic! Will definitely share among friends and families. Thanks for the awareness.
It’s so important to keep food safe around the house, especially for the little ones. They tend to get sick the most often when around spoiled food. But what great advice for new parents or families with babies.
Thanks for share this helpful information with us!
Importante saberlo!!
super important info! it’s extremely important to follow these tips. Sometimes we don’t realize how bad it’s to re-frozen food or to leave otuside without the proper temperature to keep it fresh. thanks for the tips!
Me encanto tu post y que decir del chart con los mitos y verdades, es bien importante que estemos conscientes de la seguridad al cocinar saber lo que se puede y lo que no se puede hacer.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Solo refrizo la comida, si la descongelé en la nevera, de otra forma NO.
Justamente hoy mi mamá dejó carne para descongelar arriba del mostrador. Luego quizo volver a congelarla por que decidimos comer fuera de casa pero le dije que no. Mañana le comparto esta información para sacarla de duda. Excelente tema para compartir.
oh-oh, have been doing a lot of these….
Thanks educating the community!
Mil gracias por compartir esta información.. Creo que soy la única en casa que se preocupa por que si se quedan las cosas fuera del refri se puedan echar a perder, o checar las fechas caducidad y estas cosas.. Definitivamente lo comparto en casa para que vean que mis temores no son infundados… Mil gracias,
so important to consider these!
Thanks for sharing this information. Patricia
