Is it safe to eat uncovered frozen fruit? A few days ago, I put a bowl of unfinished fruit in the freezer without covering it, just leaving it in a glass bowl. I just blended it into a smoothie, but now I’m second-guessing whether it’s safe to drink. Should I be concerned?

While it’s generally best to keep food covered in the freezer to avoid freezer burn and contamination, frozen fruit that was left uncovered for a short period (like a few days) is usually still safe to eat, especially since it was blended into a smoothie. The freezing process preserves the fruit and limits the growth of bacteria. However, the quality may be affected, resulting in changes in texture or flavor. If the fruit didn’t have any unusual smells or signs of spoilage before blending, it should be fine to drink your smoothie. If you have any doubts or notice anything off about the smoothie after blending, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and not consume it.
