Default Thawing and re-freezin bait..is it ok?

Hello everyone, please could you advise??

I bought a bag of frozen corn, flavoured it, and brought well over
half of it back with me on my last trip - i've re-frozen it, but i
wondered, will there be anything wrong with it? Certainly, it wouldnt
be fit for human consumption (imho), so what about for the fish - will
they turn their nose up at it? (if they had em??!!)

Thanks

Simple answer! try it and see.
Having a bait that does not work is not terminal and will only hurt the
matchman.

I have found that corn will become too soft after a second freeze.

If I return home with a quantity of unused (but defrosted) corn, I'll freeze
it again but then liquidise it after defrosting. This makes a good
groundbait additive, or can be cupped in in shallow water...
