Yes, you can refreeze thawed meat, but it is safest to do so only if it was thawed in the refrigerator and has not been left at room temperature for more than two hours. Refreezing may affect the texture and quality of the meat, but it will remain safe to eat if handled properly. If the meat was thawed using other methods, such as in warm water or the microwave, it should be cooked before refreezing. Always ensure that the meat is stored in appropriate conditions to maintain its safety and quality.
