    I guess it depends on whether it was still cold or partially frozen when you put it back in the fridge. If it was room temp, I would probably not to use it. Also if it was nearing it's useby date when you froze it in the first place. I assume you are talking about beef mince and not chicken mince. If you are talking chicken mince definitely throw it but beef mince may be okay if it was still cold ...

    Hmmm I had this dilemma 2 weeks ago, I threw mine out because I wasn't sure. I say if you're not sure err on the side of caution. Better to be safe than to get sick.

    I have done the same thing numerous times and just can't bring myself to use it.

    I'd use it, just cook it really well.
