It is even safe for you to eat. Freezer burn is just like freeze dried food that has not been rehydrated. It might be unappealing but it is not unsafe as long as it has not been thawed and then refrozen.

I wouldnt eat it. And hes an outside dog.

Yes, fine for a dog

I wouldn't eat it either unless I was starving to death because of the quality and taste once it gets dried out. About the time that bugs or a raw rabbit's liver starts looking good to you, some freezer burned meat might be a meal fit for a king.

Foodborne pathogens don't grow on it because it has been frozen for a long time. Freezing won't kill many of them however and the food still needs to be fully cooked as you would any other time.

If it has been vacuum sealed, the meat will still be good... Any other form of wrapping, thaw one out and smell it.

I have seen my dog eat a lot of crap that would more than likely have killed a human, and I sure as heck wouldn't have ate.

Feed it to the dog, they have iron stomachs and are predators that are supposed to eat raw and rotten meat.

I have never once worried about feeding something to my dog. But ive seen mine eat some pretty rancid ****, so I guess that's why. It will be fine.

Your dog will love it.

That is what I was thinking. They would probably look at freezer leftovers the way we look at prime rib.

I have eaten chicken and rice with vegetables that were mixed on the floor of an afghan kitchen. There is nothing wrong with that meat
