Usually frozen foods are frozen very quickly to prevent the formation of large ice crystals. Thawing and then re-freezing the food will allow water to crystallize and this can have a significant impact on texture and taste.

There’s also a health concern if you’re thawing and refreezing meats, they can start to spoil while thawed.
