A gentleman had been traveling during a time when the electricity was off for several days in many homes in his community. When he returned home, his electricity was working and everything in his freezer was frozen solid. He proceeded to eat some food from the freezer and got sick. What happened? In this case, his electricity had been off for about a week, and then came back on. Everything in his freezer had thawed and been at unsafe temperatures for several days. As the food froze again when the electricity returned, he was unaware there were any food safety problems.

My freezer is almost full, my power went off for 10 hours, back on for 8 hours, then back off for 24 hours. Do you think the food in there is still good? - Quora
