What's wrong with keeping frozen vegetables in refrigerator?
The bags of frozen mushrooms and okra that I just bought got mistakenly put into the refrigerator for a few days instead of frozen. I want to eat them now.
What's the problem with letting bagged veggies thaw and then eating them? Is there a danger of food poisoning?
Best Answer
After a few days, they're almost certainly still safe. Most fresh vegetables will last a few days to a week in the refrigerator.
The quality might not be amazing, though. Frozen vegetables tend to get limp and soggy when they thaw; after a few days of being in the refrigerator, they might very well turn to mush once you cook them. But the chances of food poisoning are remote.
