Freezer defrosted - what do you throw out?

I came down this morning to find the door had been left open on one our freezers and so everything has defrosted.

In this freezer we have ice lollies, ice cream, pizzas, Frozen chips, fish fingers, chicken nuggets, chicken burgers, turkey burgers, sausages etc etc - basically, all the quick go-to foods. We also have portions of batch cooked lasagnes and chillis.

Thankfully all our fresh meat is kicked in another freezer.

Anyhow - I told my husband that everything, bar the ice lollies and frozen chips, had to be thrown out as they contain meat.

He looked horrified and said it wasn’t necessary and I was being OTT!

Surely I’m not?

I have yet to empty the freezer for fear of me actually wasting food that according to my husband, once re-frozen will be ok to eat?!?!

YANBU - everything needs throwing.
YANBU - you’re being OTT!

As another poster said you may find some things are still at least partially or fully frozen, especially if your freezer is quite fully packed.
