This depends on if the meat was fully thawed. If it was it may be okay to cook. If the meat sat for longer than an hour in the danger zone it may not be refrozen.You should keep foods out of the danger zone to prevent bacteria from forming on foods. Bacteria can form on foods in the danger zone after just an hour. According the the US FDA Code 2009, the danger zone is from 41°F to 135°F (7°C to 58°C).

If the food is still icy, it will likely be safe to refreeze. The quality will probably degrade, but it should still be safe to use. You might want to see about using the more senstive products - seafood, IQF items - first.
