Freezer burn is a condition that occurs when frozen food has dried out due to poor packaging.
Freezer burn often results in change of texture and discoloration of the affected food. It appears as grayish to brown leathery spots on the food, resulting from chemical changes in the food's pigment.
Although freezer burn affects the quality of food, it does not make the food unsafe or unhealthy to eat. It produces dry spots, which can be cut away either before or after cooking. Heavily freezer-burned foods may lose their flavor entirely.

improper food storage .
Always wrap your food in freezer wrap or freezer bags.I actually use both and Label eac package .
You can store most meats 3 - 6 months.
Vegetables the same.
Some items like breads can be stored 1 month.
Left overs -- 2 weeks -1 month for best taste

Freezer burn is caused by dehydration usually from improper packaging. The best way to prevent it is to have a device that sucks all the air out of the package.

too much frost in your freezer. have a fridge that says no-frost to prevent freezer burn on foods.

your food is not wrapped tightly and or you are using the wrong kind of wrap. get wrap that is made to put into the freezer. also if the food as been slightly thawed and then re froze, that can cause it too.
