I picked up some groceries and accidentally left them in my car overnight. The only perishable item is a 1 lb bag of frozen shrimp. My car is parked in a garage that’s around 50 degrees. Can I safely refreeze the shrimp? I’ll make sure to check the exact temperature when I head down there, but it should be below 55 degrees.

It’s generally safe to refreeze shrimp if they’ve been kept at a temperature below 40°F for no more than 2 hours. Since your garage is around 50°F, the shrimp might be okay as long as they haven’t completely thawed. Check the shrimp to see if they still feel icy or only slightly thawed. If they are still partially frozen, you can refreeze them. However, if they’re fully thawed and have been sitting at that temperature for a while, it’s best to discard them to avoid any food safety risks. Always prioritize safety when it comes to perishable foods!
