Refreezing Meat

It is incorrect that it is unsafe to refreeze meat. The only time it would be unsafe to refreeze was if the meat had completely defrosted and its temperature had risen to over 5° C and had stayed at this temp for over 4 hours. If the meat has completely defrosted, refreezing can affect the quality making it slightly drier, however it is not an unsafe practice.
