How long would you say it was safe to leave frozen foods out of the freezer during transport back from the supermarket?

It currently takes me 30 minutes to get my food back, by this time the food is starting to get a little softer and is no longer icy. Is this still safe to re-freeze?

No definatally not. You will have to stop in everyones house on the way back home to use their freezers to keep it frozen.
Or build yourself a Tesco right next door.
Or invent the teleporter and beam yourself back home in seconds.

You need to speed all the way home, past the red lights, into the baby carriages on the road, across gaps on the yet-to-be-fully-built road bridge, and round the airport.

Or it's too late, the food's gone off.
 
You could try your luck with being bitten by a spider.
I had a mate who got bitten once and he could shoot webs from his wrists, maybe you could use the webs to swing from ******* god dam trees all the friggen way home.

You can't see me, but right now I'm pulling a "Joey Deacon" face at you!
 
take your own bags to the store filled with ice cubes(i'd say box but that sounds too sensible).


so the ice will melt a little and there will be puddles in your car but who cares as long as the fish is fresh.
 
Frozen food explodes and kills people within 100 metres if left out of a freezer for more than 2 minutes.
 
If it has been purchased from our local Morrisons it has had a freeze/thaw/freeze cycle already, so one more won't make any odds. The sooner they get busted for it the better for everyone.
 
lol go easy on him guys :p theres gonna be a lot more of these threads, its uni season :D

think about it though, have you defrosted food before? it takes AGES!

Yes to a large item,say a whole chicken, but not so student food, burgers fish fingers & fries. In quality supermarkets they have a 20 min window from freezer/lorry to display freezer & take the temps regularly, and there are others who ignore every quality standard going to minimise waste & hit their targets.
