Is it safe to eat food that's been frozen for a long period of time?
assistant
It depends on the type of food. Some foods may be unsafe if they've been frozen for too long, such as meat or fish, because bacteria can grow in them and cause foodborne illnesses. Other types of food, like fruits and vegetables, are usually safe to eat after being frozen. However, you should check with your local health department for specific advice about any particular food item before eating it.
