Answers:
Veg and bread SHOULD be alright!. But you seem to know already that fish and meats should be disposed of!. also get rid of the likes of ice cream/ice lollies!.

Believe it or not you will be OK!. That happened to me sometime ago and the only problem I had was that when I cooked the fish fillets I had they went mushy!.

I urge you not throw out the meat, but when you cook the meat make sure it is cooked properly!. No Rare Steaks!.

The veggies will be fine, and i would think the bread would be also!.

If you are still doubtful about the meat, cook and refreeze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If the door was only slightly open and your freezer was really packed it should be fine!. I know its ok when the power is off for like 24 hours!. And your freezer was still trying to make things cold!. I had our refridgerater die a couple months back and I did throw stuff out but some of the stuff that was in the back of the freezer I kept!. Just depends what it is and how packed it wasWww@FoodAQ@Com

that has happened to me many a time, it doesn`t defrost properly , freezer just runs extra hard to keep the temperature, i`ve always just closed the door and eaten everything as normal , the food has always been okWww@FoodAQ@Com

I probably wouldn't throw any of it out unless you thaw it out (again) and check for spoilage!.
If there was enough mass the foo would not have thawed completely!.
BTW ~ You can refreeze anything, anytime!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm sure it's safe to eat everything!. Things didn't unfreeze completly, I wouldn't think, if it was left open last night and closed this morning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The bread and veggies should be fine!. Don't think anything can develop in such a short amount of time!. Ya throw meat out!. Definitely!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If I were you!.!.!.!.before I threw out anything!.!.!.!.I would check it!.!.!.it is possible that nothing defrosted and everything is fine!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the bread and veggies are ok to eat because these things can be left out of the freezer without any problems so happy eating! Www@FoodAQ@Com

The bread and vegetables should be good because they tend to withstand better than meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

actually you probably are safe with all the products ,i work in restaurant and have had the same thing happen and all was okWww@FoodAQ@Com
