Can you freeze food more than once? Anon


Refreezing thawed frozen foods is not advised from either a safety or quality point of view. The main reason is to avoid the risk of improper defrosting methods. Freezing foods stops any bacteria found naturally in foods to grow, until the food is defrosted. Once frozen food is thawed, the bacteria become active again. We recommend that thawed foods should be cooked as soon as possible. Click here for info on how to defrost frozen food safely. Click here to see more about storing and cooking your frozen food.
