Abstract: A device which will indicate whether thawing of a frozen item has occurred. The invention consists of a housing containing an internal cavity which is visible through a transparent section of the outside housing wall. A frozen plug is visible within said cavity. Said plug may consist of pure-water-ice or ice containing additives affecting color and/or freezing temperature. Said housing may also contain a tension-loaded indication apparatus which is held in a fixed position by means of the frozen plug. Should thawing take place, the frozen plug would melt, thus allowing the tension-loaded indication apparatus to vary its position. Subsequent refreezing would not return the device to its initial condition.
