Why should you not defrost things, then refreeze them?
In: Other
from my understanding, its not unsafe to refreeze IF thawed in the fridge. the cells of the food do break down after repeated freeze/thaw which compromises the quality of the food but does not make it any less safe to consume. However, if the food (especially raw protein) is thawed at room temp you should not refreeze. at room temp you give bacteria a much larger window to and therefore the food should be cooked at that time
