I personally wouldnt refreeze only because I think it tastes different after defrosting. I was just giving the official line on it

Thanks for that as said was not slating the info you found, i just think what they have said is outrageous and will be taking that statement to work tomorrow.
Not everyone knows the do's and dont's for cooking even my dh he leaves rice out all night and then says we can still eat it.no you cannot.

this is from the food safety website maybe help someone, although we all have our personal preferences and tolerances

Refreezing
Once food is thawed in the refrigerator, it is safe to refreeze it without cooking, although there may be a loss of quality due to the moisture lost through thawing. After cooking raw foods which were previously frozen, it is safe to freeze the cooked foods. If previously cooked foods are thawed in the refrigerator, you may refreeze the unused portion. Freeze leftovers within 3-4 days. Do not refreeze any foods left outside the refrigerator longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 °F.

If you purchase previously frozen meat, poultry or fish at a retail store, you can refreeze if it has been handled properly.

Sounds like good advice. Its all about common sense really and large temperature changes. The warmer things get, the faster they deteriorate.

I've slowly educated a couple of whoopsie ladies. They used to scrutinse all the packaging and umm and arrrr and fret. They now just hand me the item and say "do you think this will freeze ok"
