Hello, I pulled these lamb chops out of the freezer about 5 days ago and sat them in the back of the fridge where they remained half thawed half frozen.
I pulled them out for dinner tonight and noticed one of them is almost completely white and another is starting to get a white hue to it.
The one that is fully white had a bit of ice on it when pulled from the fridge.
They don't feel slimey at all and don't smell off in fact they barely have a smell at all even after freshly opening the package.
Was the white meat caused by the fridge/freezer somehow? Is it still safe to eat? (I assume it is)

Bin.
Because it hasn’t been baabecued, yet.
This looks like it was resting in water or water was resting on top of it to me.
Looks like freezer burn, but thats not a certainty. If it dosen’t smell and isn’t slimy then it should be “safe” but,
I always have a rule with food personally,
If I feel like I have to question the food for any reason then I won’t feed it to my family.
You don’t have to eat it.
It had water residue on it from some where and bleached it that color.
I’ve seen this happen to other meats that were in a service case with dripping condensation. I wouldn’t eat that piece if it were me.
Water
Water.
Looks like a layer of frozen water on top.
Freezer burn
That’s the lucky chop
