Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Myth: Freezing foods kills harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Fact: Bacteria can survive freezing temperatures. Freezing isn’t a method for making foods safe to eat. When food is thawed, bacteria can still be present and may begin to multiply.
Detailed explanation-2: -Freezing halts the activities of spoilage microorganisms in and on foods and can preserve some microorganisms for long periods of time. Frozen foods have an excellent overall safety record.
Detailed explanation-3: -A: Nope (said with a chuckle)! To kill bacteria, you typically have to reach 80 degrees below freezing. Since freezers sit around zero to four degrees, that’s nowhere near cold enough.
