Foods you should not freeze

Checked 25 Oct 2026

This list is built from the storage table on each food page, not written by hand. A food appears here when at least one official source on its page lists freezing as not recommended, says it does not freeze well, or says not to freeze it, for at least one state of the food. Usually the reason is texture rather than safety, and the food page quotes the source so you can see the exact words. Some foods also appear on the freezer list, because another source or another state of the food has a freezer time; open the page to see which source says what, and the date we checked it.
