Does freezing not alter the taste or shelf life of hamster food?

I'm still reluctant to freeze hamster food because i won't eat previously frozen bread. It doesn't taste the same.

Also, does hamster food that has been frozen and then thawed not go mouldy or off after a while?

Hamsters eat so little that it takes quite a while to go through a bag even with all the mouths to feed in this household.

I suppose one could take out small amounts every second day or so?

I often vacuum because that's the one and only household chore i actually enjoy but i haven't emptied the bag recently. So in theory, this bag could be crawling with moths by now.

I'm going to check....
