Most certainly. Temperatures below freezing only slow or stop the growth of bacteria. Such temperatures do not kill them.

Just an FYI . . . The danger zone of 40°F to 140°F is the temperature range where pathogens like to grow - not where they are killed.

What temperature does bacteria start to die at when frozen?

It actually depends on the kind of bacteria. Based on their temperature requirements (temperatures at which they grow) bacteria are classified as psychrophiles (very low temperatures... even below zero).. mesophiles (above zero to say 20-30 on an average...).. thermophiles (above 50).. extreme thermophiles (very extreme temperatures such as hot springs.. may be in hundreds...).
