Allison: I worked for many years at a child care center, where I was
assistant cook. We fixed breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks for
the
children. The state health inspecter would come every so often to
inspect the kitchen; and one of the things he stated to us every time
was that once raw meat was thawed out we could not re-freeze it; but
once it was cooked, we could freeze it. I`m sorry if I sound huffy
about this, but I`m just stating what we were told.
