I bought individually wrapped steaks from Walmart, and I accidentally left them out of the freezer for about 18 hours. I don't know if they had completely thawed or not. I didn't open the box to look.

I didn't have time to cook them, so I put them into the freezer.

They are frozen now... but are they safe to eat?

EDIT:

I recieved a response from Black River themselves asking the same question. Their official response was:

Thank you for your email I received regarding a recent purchase you made. I have spoken to my product and development team and they suggest for you not to consume that product. Having the product out for 16 hours not refrigerated isn’t a good thing so we wouldn’t recommend for you to consume it.

Having said that you also stated that you re froze the product which isn’t a good thing to do since the product thawed.

We believe 8 hours would be sufficient enough to thaw this product so we don’t recommend you consuming this product.

I hope I was able to answer your question. If for any reason you have any further questions/concerns please feel free to contact me as I am willing to assist you with any information you may need.

    MY questions is more about whether the individual vacuum packaging would keep them safe from bacteria. – Livi17 Jul 23 '15 at 23:50

    The bacteria that can spoil the food are already in the package. What only matters is the amount of the bacteria which is determined by time and temperature. – Ching Chong Jul 23 '15 at 23:53

    Yup, that proposed duplicate applies just as well to your steaks. – Cascabel Jul 24 '15 at 03:55
  • Just to back what has already been said by @Jefromi and Ching Chong, I received an official response by the Black River company themselves which agrees to toss them. I added it to the question above. – Livi17 Jul 24 '15 at 14:01
