To Eat...Or Not To Eat

Can you always trust the safety of the food in your freezer? What if while on vacation your home suffered a power outage that allowed your freezer foods to thaw and then refreeze when the power returned. If you're not home, how would you even know? Is your food safe now? According to the FDA, your frozen food may be hazardous to your health if left at room temperature for just two hours. Scary thought!
 
Power outages are a real possibility in Florida, especially during the hurricane and tropical storm season when many residents are vacationing or living in their summer homes.

The good news is that with the FREEZER METER, you'll know if your freezer compartment has reached a potentially harmful temperature during your absence.

Here's how it works.

                STEP 1                                            STEP 2                                           STEP 3
   Fill to the line and freeze            Place the ball on top of the ice          Hang the meter in the      
                                                                                                                             freezer


WHEN YOU RETURN FROM YOUR TRIP

Inspect your meter when you return. If it looks exactly the way you left it in step three, your food has remained safely frozen. But if the ice in the meter thawed or partially thawed, the ball will move to a position similar to one in the last two pictures shown below.  At this point, your food may be at risk.
