It is generally safe to eat meat that has been defrosted and then refrozen, provided it was thawed in the refrigerator and not left at room temperature for too long. However, refreezing can affect the texture and quality of the meat. Always ensure that the meat has been cooked properly after thawing to eliminate any potential bacteria. For best practices, it's advisable to avoid refreezing thawed meat unless necessary.

Is it safe to eat meat that has been kept refridgerated until date then frozen then defrosted and then rerefridgerated?
It is recommended to eat ANY thawed out meat as soon as possible. However, you can keep in refrigerator for up to 24hrs if necessary.
Slightly defrosted shrimp be refrozen and then cooked safe?
All meat can be defrosted and then refrozen. It is safe to eat, but will not be as tasty and juicy if meat had not been frozen. This is not a safety issue but a culinary one.
Can you marinate defrosted meat and eat the next day?
Yes, you can defrost meat in the refrigerator on one day, marinate it and then cook and eat it the next day.
Can cooked frozen meats defrosted be refrozen?
Defrosted raw meat can be refrozen and cooked later, but the quality of the meat will be notably reduced. If the meat has been at room temperature for more than an hour or so, bacterial growth may have been substantial, and then the refrozen meat may not be safe to eat later, even after being cooked. The best way to deal with defrosted meat that is not needed immediately is to cook it and THEN freeze it for future use. In theory you can defrost and freeze meat as many times as you want as long as you cook the hell out of it before eating. Each time you do it, more bacteria grow inside it, but the heat of cooking will kill them. However, the palatability of the meat decreases with each cycle and quickly renders the food inedibal except by the very hungry.
Pork ribs frozen then defrosted then refroze Are they still good to cook and eat?
The answer to this depends on how they were frozen, defrosted and stored in the interim. The trick to safely freezing meat is to get the job done very fast. The two reasons for this are moving the meat out of the temperature we call "the zone" (about 42F to 130F) in wich infection can occur, and also superfast freezing required to prevent the formulation of large, sharp ice crystals in the cells of the meat. Slow freezing allows these crystals to form and pierce the cellular wall, releasing the contents of the cell. When defrosted, this creates a higher infection rick in that non-intact cells are far easier to infect, and also the fact that this makes your meat a lot less juicy. When the meat was defrosted, the question becomes, how high a temperature did the pork reach? If the pork defrosted but stayed out of the zone, you're pretty safe (over 32F but less than 42F). If the pork hit room temperature, you're at a greater risk. Also factor in risk of contaminants -- if the pork defrosted to room temperature and then came in contact with other media that are high-bacterial growth or content (dropped on the floor, smear with mayonaise, etc.) the risk becomes higher again. Refreezing is the next problem. While commerical rigs can flash-freeze foods, most home refrigerators just aren't cold enough. If you didn't get a flash freeze on it, the meat will be more susceptible to infection, as well as less pleasing to eat. Finally, there's the old but still true kitchen axiom that comes into play: "when in doubt, throw it out".

Can you eat frozen chicken that has gone white?
