Is my stash ruined???

So upset right now. Just noticed that the plug to my big freezer was pulled out. probably my toddler dud it but i dont know. Anyways i have been working on my stash for the past two minths cause i go back to work next week and have about 700oz stored ib there. when i finally notuced the freezer i dont know how long it has been unplugged but milk in it is partially thawed. its still cold but slightly slushy cinsistency if you know what i mean. Is it still ok? can i just leace it in there and let it fully freeze again or is it all trash now ?

I am so sorry. I don't know the answer, but I wanted to let you know I hope you can still use it. FX.

Oh no! I believe if it's started thawing you can't refreeze it, but I'm not positive.

Looks like it is still safe to freeze as long as there are still ice crystals which if sounds like your has!

I have read that as long as it's still slushy, it's safe to re-freeze.
