We'll I was feeding my fish with frozen
Hakari bio pure brine I accadently forgot
The whole pack of frozen food out overnight
And found it at 7:30 am all unthawed do you think
It's still good to feed my fish and corals thanks

I'd still use it. It's just fish food. They'll pretty much eat anything when it boils down to it.

As with most food, even the stuff I eat and especially seafood, smell will tell you a lot.
If it doesn't reek like rotten food I would still use it.
I just fed my nassarius snails a clam, and even though it was frozen, I still smell it. If it has a bad (rotten) smell, i would toss it.

I posted a similar question a while back, when my freezer broke and the temp got in the 40s for 3 days. Several people said not to risk feeding it to them, how would I feel if my fish died because I didn't want to waste money. I ended up throwing away about $90 worth of food. It's a tough call if it's more, but if it's just one pack of food, like $5, I would just throw it away.

you talking a "sheet" of food -or- food individually packed in a blister-pack ??

sheet = throw it out

blister pack = refreeze and use it

I buy frozen food in bulk.
I then take 2 weeks or so of food, cut it into daily portions and put all in a container marked "fish food" and put in the freezer.
If I forget it out, then i don't wipe out all my food in one shot.
Going forward, you may want to try something like this.

I once had about $400 worth of frozen melt out because I left the freezer door open while I was away on a trip.

Not only did I trash the food, I trashed the fridge. No way to get the smell of pe mysis out once the juice flows through the back of the fridge...
Trash the food. It isn't worth it.
