Our deep freezer's door was left open overnight. DH discovered it and closed the door without feeling the contents to determine how warm they were. He thinks nothing got warmer than refrigerator temp, but he has no way to really know this. I had salmon, shrimp and ground chicken in there. Would you keep or toss?

ETA: there was some ice cream that was icy/crystallized so it clearly had at least partially thawed.

I would probably be ok with it, most stuff is pretty frozen and if it is also packed in there it won't have thawed too much assuming your house wasn't super warm.

I’d throw away the chicken for sure, maybe the salmon. It might be fine, and i might be overreacting but it turns my stomach to think of bad chicken and fish. I’d probably keep the shrimp.
