‘The amount of times I did this’: Woman says eating ice cream after it thaws will make you sick. Is that true?

Few can resist a cheeky scoop of ice cream—but in some cases, it might be better to throw the frozen confection away. One imparter of that advice is Akilah McCray (@obviously_akilah), in a TikTok that has amassed 410,400 views.

"Do you know that eating refrozen ice cream that has thawed out can give you food poisoning?" She asks a man off-screen. "Yeah," he replies. "Yes," she reinforces, looking meaningfully at the camera.

The clip is accompanied by on-screen text reinforcing this point.
