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.
