Only the quality suffers with lengthy freezer stor- age." The USDA assumes that the food in question is stored in a freezer that is able to main- tain constant 0 ° F or lower, which may not always be the case for a refrigerator- v e, freezer compartment that ) is opened often.

(2) When, if ever, is it safe to let fro- zen food thaw on the counter at room temperature? Thanks, Pam. According to the USDA, "Foods should never be thawed or even stored on the counter, or de- frosted in hot water." Thawing in the refrigerator is the preferred method. Cold-water or microwave thawing are acceptable, if done properly. I hope this helps. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Direct Your Questions For Barb And Counseling Inquiries To: Integrated Nutrition, LLC, 32401 Nortb.western Hwy. Farmington Hills..
