No, you cannot kill Salmonella in the freezer because once the temperature starts to reach 40 deg F the bacteria will hybernate (become spores) to preserve itself. The only way to kill Salmonella is to cook at a minimum of 150 deg F. Placing your food in the freezer will only slow down it's growth. the guy who wrote this is stupid.. you can! I've done it!

Frozen meat CAN contain salmonella, but it does not HAVE to contain salmonella. Cooking meat thoroughly and washing one's hands before and after handling raw meat reduces most risk of contracting an infection.

It depends upon as to how long it was frozen. But most of them are killed when frozen.

Freezing can damage bacterial cells, but it won't kill them all off. The bacteria can recover and start to grow again once the meat is thawed.

no

The Salmonella is not destroyed by freezing, but they perish after being heated to 55 °C (131 °F) for 90 min, or to 60 °C (140 °F) for 12 min. So, nah man. It doesn't.

No. The salmonella is not freezed so it won't kill it.
