Can you eat freezer burned bacon?
Chef's answer
Contrary to what some people believe, freezer-burned meat is safe to eat. However, that doesn't mean it's going to taste great. The real damage of freezer burn is that it causes a dry, leathery texture. The flavor will also depreciate, a sign that it's lost its freshness.
