I opened a large can of collards a week ago. If I freeze the rest now, would they still be good to eat?

Question

I wonder if the canned collards would be worth eating if they were frozen after being opened a week ago.  They are in the frig now in an air tight container. Thanks!

Answer 1

I would be afraid to eat something that was opened & stored tightly in the refrigerator for 1 week...............I would get rid of that.....better to do that then take a chance of getting sick from it bacteria builds up even if it is tightly sealed & kept very cold.

Next time you open something and it is too much to eat within 3 days......freeze it into small servings not to waste anything.  We only keep something cold for 3 days and longer than that it would be trashed.  Our family had several eateries.....and 3 days was the limit for cold food storage that had to have the date on it.
