Although 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) is the temperature at which water freezes, it is not a good freezer storage temperature. Some yeasts can actually grow at 15 degrees F (-9 degrees C). The recommended temperature for freezers is 0 degrees F (-18 degrees C) or below.
After being defrosted, frozen foods must be cooked before being re-frozen.
Just about every food can be frozen. Freezing foods is one great way to store foods. Fresh vegetables and fruits are not easy to freeze. You must blanch these foods first before freezing.

The temperature must be below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
41 or lower
Ready-to-eat Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods must be stored under appropriate conditions and labeled with a "use by" or "consume by" date if they are held for more than 24 hours. According to FDA Food Code guidelines, these foods should be clearly labeled and used within 7 days if kept at 41°F (5°C) or lower.
Meat
Less than 40F.
meat must be stored at 41 degrees or frozen. It must be cooked and or consumed and cannot be used after sitting out for 2 hrs, much less 2 days !
Blood is transported cold. It is lowered below body temperature, but not frozen, to slow the breakdown of the components. It is less volatile once it is broken down into its components such as plasma, platelets and red blood cells. It can be stored for only a few weeks and then must be discarded.
So when you cook it, it cooks evenly. More importantly, any microbes that are in frozen parts when you start the cooking sequence might survive and such microbes in frozen poultry are very dangerous to human health.
Because at this temperature almost all viruses are inactive and not harmful .
