The bacteria in frozen food die. This is because bacteria need food, water, and a warm temperature in order to survive.

What happens to most food poisoning bacteria when frozen?

Most food poisoning bacteria become dormant and stop multiplying when frozen. Freezing does not necessarily kill these bacteria, but it can slow their growth and reduce the risk of foodborne illness. However, once the food is thawed, these bacteria can become active again, so it's important to handle and cook frozen food properly.

Why does foods happen?

Food spoilage happens when bacteria in the food is allowed to grow. The food heats up to room temperature or hotter and the bacteria grow allowing it to spoil.


Does the bacteria in frozen yogurt die?

What happens to all bacteria in frozen food?

It depends on how quickly the food goes from room temp to frozen. If freezing occurs slowly, like when you put something into a normal household freezer, ice crystals are able to form in the cells and many (most) bacteria die. Some however, survive and are basically dormant (in microbiology the definition of "death" is that all cells are killed and cannot grow back). Refrigeration and freezing therefor are considered bacteriostatic, not bacteriocidal. When you remove the food item from the freezer it is not sterile, since some cells survive. Of course, you know this intuitively, because if you leave it out, it will "go bad". That is the bacteria recolonizing the tissues. If you are able to rapidly freeze cells (as is done in biology labs, with a ethanol slurry), water crystals do not have time to form. This is how cells are prepared to be stored in deep freeze and can be kept this way for long periods of time.


If a food spoiled and then was placed in the freezer would it kill bacteria?

Freezing doesn't necessarily kill bacteria. It stops them from multiplying, but they can revive when the food is thawed. And the toxins they produced before being frozen will still be there.


Can frozen food go bad if stored for too long?

Yes, frozen food can go bad if stored for too long due to freezer burn, loss of flavor, and potential growth of harmful bacteria.

What happens to bacteria at 63 degrees?

Bacteria in food reaching a temperature of no more than 63c is very dangerous. Bacteria thrive at this temperature. Food is in what can be referred to as a 'high risk or danger zones'. Food should not be consumed and should be destroyed.
