Do I need to throw away this salmon?

Anonymous
Our freezer door was left slightly ajar. The temp never got above freezing, but items definitely started to thaw out.

I buy big bags of frozen, individually vacuum-sealed salmon filets from Whole Foods. The salmon pieces in one of the bags in particular were definitely partially thawed -- soft to the touch but still partially frozen.

This was a couple of days ago and I just closed the freezer door and decided I'd make a decision later.

Do you all think I need to toss them?

According to this site it should still be safe to eat, but there may be some textural changes.

As long as the temp didn't go over 40 degrees should be safe.
