What does freezing food do with the expiration date of it?

In: 1

Answer 1

The food stays in the state it was at the moment of freezing for the most part. If it was, say, about to go sour it will still have little time left to use. In the freezer food will not spoil in the traditional way, with microbial or fungal growth, but may dehydrate or accumulate smells.
