What does it mean if a defrosted tub has bloated (with air). Is it OK to give my pet the food?

On occasion (very rare, to be honest), a tub of food may bloat with air while being defrosted. This tends to happen if the tub was defrosted too quickly. It may also happen if the tub has been defrosted and not opened - maybe because it's been hidden in the fridge, and you didn't realise it was there.

The best way to tell if it's OK to feed is to smell it. If it doesn't smell right, it's best to dispose of it. Also, if you suspect it's been defrosted for more than 4 days, don't feed it to your pet.
