It depends on the food, but in the grocery store where I work we have to throw frozen meat out within three hours of losing power. If you are planning to cook the meat right away it should still be good. Especially if the meat is still cold. If kept in the fridge it should be okay for another day or two.

Why do food in freezer stay frozen when they are not covered?
Hot air rises, so the colder the air, the lower it wil be. Okay, now think of the freezers as swimming pools filled with freezing cold air! but the air is to cold to float up, because all the hot air gets there first, so it sits in the freezer keeping all the frozen goods frozen...
