I have frozen vegetables and berries in my freezer for over two years. I wonder if it is safe to consume them after such a long storage?
Yes, it is safe. Products that have been in the freezer for such a time do not pose a health risk, says epidemiologist Svetlana Chaykovskaya. However, if the product has changed color, developed mold spots, or has an unpleasant smell upon thawing, such products should be discarded. Cooking will not help in this case.
The optimal storage time for vegetables and fruits in the freezer is up to one year. During this time, their taste and nutritional properties are preserved.
