∙ 13y agoI was wondering the same thing and apparently it IS safe to eat and discarding freezer burned fish/meat is more for "quality" reasons. Heavily freezer burned food should probably not be eaten just because it wont taste too great. For less freezer-burned food, just cut away the pieces before or after cooking.

Chicken that has been store properly will last up to 12 months. If it wasn't wrapped for the freezer it will have freezer burn. Freezer burn is caused by the drying-out of the chicken's meat. This will affect the taste and the appearance of the chicken.

If chicken turns white while defrosting, it typically means that the outer layers have begun to cook from the contact with warm air. While it is safe to consume if the chicken has been properly thawed in the refrigerator and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), the texture and quality may be affected. To prevent this, thaw chicken in the refrigerator, in cold water, or using a microwave.
It is not advisable for a person to put thawed chicken back in the freezer. This is because chicken is prone to salmonella, which can cause a person to become very ill.
