Wait until the freezer has reached the recommended temperature before putting the food back
in it.
Refreezing a thawed product encourages the spread of bacteria. This may become a health
hazard if the bacteria that spreads are pathogens, as these may cause more or less serious food
poisoning depending on the type of bacteria involved. If in doubt, cook the food involved.
