How long do I have to get frozen groceries home before they spoil?!


Question: How long do I have to get frozen groceries home before they spoil!?
I try to rush to get them home in 30 minutes or less!. However, I know people who casually drive around all day with frozen food in their car!. They don't seem to be concerned!.

I don't want to get sick!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
When grocery shopping, collect your frozen foods last to avoid thawing, and take them home in insulated containers!. This may seem like an unnecessary step but when frozen food thaws and then is refrozen, vital nutrients break down!. If you are more than 30 minutes away from home a cooler should be used for perishables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

as long as they dont unthaw, you could prob wait up to 3 hours if u wanted to, the temp of the food has to get to 40 degrees for bacteria to form, with the food frozen, it would prob take 6 or more hours for that to happenWww@FoodAQ@Com
