Is it true you shouldn't eat meat if it's been frozen, defrosted, and then frozen again? Report Abuse. You should never eat meat that has been frozen, defrosted and frozen again because of the potential for the bacteria to grow. This not only applies to meat(beef,pork, etc), it applies to poultry (chicken and turkey etc) as well.est Answer: There are two concerns with refreezing meat. The first is safety. If the meat has thawed in a refrigerator, then it’s okay to refreeze. In terms of other methods, make sure it doesn’t sit in the “danger zone”—40°F–140°F (4°C–60°C)—for more than two hours.

Meat is safest when it is frozen quickly. Allow for plenty of space around the meat in the freezer until it has frozen all the way through.

How long does defrosted ground meat stay good in the fridge? How long it took to freeze will have a bearing on it, too. If the ground beef was 3 days old when frozen, you might try cooking it from frozen. If it was freshly ground when frozen, the thawed meat will likely be good for 2 days. Once thawed, the ground meat should be used within a day or two. Ground meat spoils quickly since grinding the meat mixes bacteria throughout.

Can You Refreeze Raw Meat After Thawing? The short answer? Yes, you can — but you may not want to. According to the USDA, when raw meat is thawed in the refrigerator, it is safe to refreeze it without cooking. For this reason, it's perfectly all right to purchase, say, a previously frozen piece of salmon, and then put it in your freezer when you get home. But if you refreeze thawed poultry or meat, you will be compromising quality of taste and texture. Not only does meat lose water during the defrosting process, but refreezing it also creates ice crystals within the structure of the meat that alter its fibers, leaving an unfortunately dry cut of meat.
