Is it ok to thaw ground beef then freeze it again?!
I bought a 6lbs bag of ground beef and didnt have time to cut it into separate 1lbs bags!. So , I want to unfreeze it and then separate it and then put it back in the freezer!. Is that ok for the meat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Yes it is ok to refreeze!. For years I thought it was not and refused to ever do so (I am a self-proclaimed germaphobe and have a Master's in Public Health) until I read what the FDA has to say about freezing and food safety!.
Although it is safe, I still avoid doing so just to preserve the quality of my meats and poultry, but in the event I need to I will refreeze knowing myself and family will be safe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not safe, but can be done!. if you are going to do it, i would make sure to use it in something that gets througly cooked, basically casaroles or soups!. I wouldn't risk grilling/burgers since they don't necisarily get cooked as well!.
what i would recommend:
i would brown it all in the microwave, drain the the greese and then you can re-freeze it safely!. you can thaw it for casaroles, soups, and other things that just have ground beef added!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah it's okay!. I've done it before and I'm still healthy!. When you thaw it do not thaw it in the microwave because it cooks a little and if you freeze that again you will get sick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes it is fine i work in restuarant for years and it is common to do with beef ,dont worry cause when cooking it kills bacteria and yes i am sure 100%Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, you cannot unthaw it, divide it and refreeze it!. There is a possibility of food poisoning when you do that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have refrozen it, but only after it's been cooked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Nope you cannot do that it will spoil!. Once it's thawed it must be eaten!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
