Sales tax holidays in the United States. In New York, a statewide sales tax holiday was first enacted by the New York legislature in 1996, enabling the first tax-free week in January 1997. Local governments in New York were given the option of whether or not to participate; most declined. Since then, the initiative has been adopted by thirteen states.
Refreezing food is not dangerous, the danger is that food can spoil before itâs refrozen or after itâs thawed again before being cooked and eaten. Freezing food does not kill bacteria, so once thawed bacteria continues to multiple at the same exponential rate it was multiplying at before being frozen.
If the meat has thawed in a refrigerator, then itâs okay to refreeze. In terms of other methods, make sure it doesnât sit in the âdanger zoneââ40Â°Fâ140Â°F (4Â°Câ60Â°C)âfor more than two hours. The second concern is about the meatâs quality. When you think of how meat fibers change on a cellular level, freezing not only affects the solids in meat cells but also turns the liquid within the cells into frozen crystals.
