Ocean Nutrition's own guidance is that thawed frozen food can only be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals, or is cold to the touch and has been kept below 7°C for under two hours — once it has thawed fully and warmed past that, feed it or discard it, never refreeze it. Keep the pack frozen between feeds, and if it starts to soften in transit on a hot day, move it to your own freezer as soon as it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a frozen product this pack ships and must be stored frozen. There's no manufacturer warranty on a food item as such — the applicable guarantee is the consumer guarantee under Australian Consumer Law that the food is of acceptable quality and matches its description. Keep it frozen until use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this feed my fry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the soft, transparent larvae are sized for small mouths, which makes this one of the more fry-friendly frozen foods in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I feed this alongside flake or pellet food?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
