MY ORDER HAS ARRIVED THAWED/ SEMI FROZENUpdated 9 months ago

There is a lot of misconception and confusion over: Can I Refreeze Thawed Products? 

In short the answer is YES, as long as your product; beef, lamb, poultry, seafood, meets the following environmental scenarios:  

  1. Your product is still partially defrosted / partially frozen and in its original packaging or freezer bag. You can safely refreeze.
  2. Your product is fully defrosted / fully thawed but still cold to touch (same coldness as the items in your fridge is a good guideline) and in its original packaging or freezer bag. You can safely refreeze. - Safely re-freezing thawed meat that is still cold to touch is no different than a package of fresh meat you would purchase from the supermarket or butchers where the meat, coming from their chilled cabinet will also be cold to touch 

If your product has fully defrosted / fully thawed and is warm to touch/ room temperature with the packaging damaged you cannot refreeze and must discard. Please take photographs and email them to us so we can review it and resend or refund you accordingly.
