According to the USDA, poultry can be sold as “fresh” if it has never been below 26° F. Excuse me, but isn’t 32° usually considered the freezing point? And there’s another misleading claim. This one is especially important with turkey season here. Poultry can be sold as “never been frozen” as long as it hasn’t been stored below 0° F. Read it in the USDA’s own words. This. is. crazy. “Never been frozen” says quite clearly that it, well… has never been frozen. I know from experience that chickens and turkeys at 10° are quite solidly frozen!
