an interruption in the curing process

[meatloaf]

Hey all,
I had some bacon curing in the fridge in ziploc bags and had to leave town for an unexpected emergency. So I put the bags of bacon in the freezer. Is it ok to thaw and smoke them now? or is it safer to just cut them up and use them as is without smoking?
Thanks!

How long were they curing before freezing?

If you were say, half way through the curing time, when you froze, then thawed, the curing time will resume where you left off. It wouldn't start over as some of the cure was already in the bacon before the freezing stopped the process. Maybe add a few days to make sure you are fully cured.
