Is it okay to eat expired frozen food? Doctor explains what expiry dates mean: ‘As long as it stays frozen…’
Hindustan TimesHas your mom ever told you that it is okay to eat an expired packaged food item just because it is frozen? Well, something similar happened to an Instagram user who asked the internet for suggestions on whether to eat expired frozen food or not. Dr Karan Rajan, MBBS BSc and an NHS surgeon, stitched the original clip and explained what one must do in such scenarios - if they should eat expired frozen food, how to freeze food and more. 'As long as the food stays frozen, it's safe' In the video captioned “Freezer glitch,” Dr Rajan stated that frozen food ‘technically’ never expires. After Dr Rajan posted the video on Instagram, a user who used to work in a frozen food factory took to the comments section to explain how expiry dates for frozen items work.
