Rating: 97 Freon gas is the fuel used in most modern refrigerators and freezers. It is tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic. If freezer or refrigerator coils are punctured, freon may escape. Foods stored in the freezer will be safe to eat. PREPARED BY: Angela M. Fraser, Ph.D., Associate Professor/Food Safety Specialist, and Carolyn J. Lackey, Ph.D., R.D., L.D.N.
