I was wondering the same thing and apparently it IS safe to eat and discarding freezer burned fish/meat is more for "quality" reasons. Heavily freezer burned food should probably not be eaten just because it wont taste too great. For less freezer-burned food, just cut away the pieces before or after cooking.
Cook it first; it will be safe to eat, but expect it to be flavorless, dry, and tough.
From what I have been told, yes you can and it will not hurt you. It may be a little rubbery and not taste great but you CAN eat it!
It might be microbiologically safe, but flavor-wise - it isn't worth the effort.

If you don't let the berries get freezer burn in the first place, then they will have no such taste. If they aren't in sauce, perhaps rinsing them off might get rid of an off flavor, if it is just a faint stale smell in the freezer itself, rather than actual freezer burn.
