Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -False! While freezing food will render bacteria inactive, it won’t kill it. This means if your food entered the freezer contaminated, it would come out contaminated when thawed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Information. No, freezing does not destroy nutrients in meat and poultry products. There is little change in nutrient value during freezer storage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Freezing food slows down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species. Freezing temperatures curb the spoiling effect of microorganisms in food, but can also preserve some pathogens unharmed for long periods of time.
