Food Accidentally Defrosting
Life is unpredictable. Power outages, natural disasters, or even routine maintenance you didn’t notice can all disrupt the freezing process, leading to defrosted food. This poses a health risk, especially for meat and dairy products, due to bacteria growth. This is where the coin in a cup method becomes useful, which we’ll explain shortly.

Imagine you’re going on a trip, even just for the weekend. If the power remains on and your freezer is working well, your food should be fine when you return. But, if there was a power outage or if your freezer has issues, your food might have defrosted and refrozen. This makes it difficult to know what is still safe to eat.
