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.
Most bacteria become dormant and do not multiply in frozen food. However, some bacteria can survive freezing and may resume growth once the food is thawed. It is important to properly handle and cook frozen food to prevent foodborne illness.
Food that is frozen still has bacteria on it, freezing slows down the bacteria that spoils food but does not stop or kill other dangerous bacteria, it actual preserves it. Only evenly heating the food will kill bacteria.
The bacteria clogs up the insofagouse of the interpreted cell. The bacteria also spreads the most while freezing and the nucleus can not be preached without an in-viral detection (England treasures fact 1984). Therefore the microbe (bacteria) in freezing point spread and melt with the flange of the temperature.
I hope this helped :)
When frozen bacteria grows and multiplies much slower is all, with most kinds of bacteria it will not kill it.

Peas can be canned or frozen Which of these will contain living bacteria?
Peas that have been canned will not contain living bacteria, as the canning process involves high heat that kills any bacteria present. On the other hand, peas that have been frozen may still contain some living bacteria, as freezing does not fully eliminate all bacteria.
Does all food contain bacteria?
No, not all food contains bacteria. While some foods naturally contain small amounts of bacteria, proper food storage and preparation can help minimize bacterial growth and prevent foodborne illness.
At what temperature will bacteria lay dormant on food in a freezer?
Food poisoning bacteria go dormant at and below freezing. All bacteria are dormant below -17ºC or 1.5ºF
Are all bacteria poisonous in food poisoning?
Not all bacteria are poisonous, but some pathogenic bacteria can produce toxins that cause food poisoning when ingested. These toxins can make people sick when they consume contaminated food. Proper food handling and cooking can help prevent food poisoning caused by bacterial contamination.
When food is put in the refrigerator all bacteria?
The growth of bacteria slows but does not stop. The food will still spoil but at a much slower rate.
Can all indian food be frozen?
Yes, most all Indian food can be frozen to eat at a later date.
What happens to the tongue if it is over cleaned?
Nothing. Bacteria gathers on your tongue on a daily basis from all the bacteria on the food you eat. If anything, it's good to clean it often.
Peas can be canned or frozen Which of these will contain living bacteria?
Peas that have been canned will not contain living bacteria, as the canning process involves high heat that kills any bacteria present. On the other hand, peas that have been frozen may still contain some living bacteria, as freezing does not fully eliminate all bacteria.
What can of food is best for you?
all caned food is gross, eat freash or frozen
Is bacteria found in food always good?
No, not at all. Bacteria that cause disease such as salmonella, can be found in food.
Can you refrigerate balsamic vinegar and what happens when you take it out?
no. it is a vinegar so it preserves itself
Why does food stored in refrigerators last long?
Foods often spoil because of bacterial waste. However, below about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (about 14 degrees Celsius), bacteria reproduce extremely slowly, and their metabolism slows to the point that they don't consume much of the food, or produce enough waste products to spoil the food. Because it doesn't completely kill all bacteria, food will still spoil after some time. On the other hand, frozen foods are so cold that no bacteria can reproduce, and thus frozen food can virtually last indefinitely if kept well below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) at all times (freezers are usually about 4 degrees Fahrenheit).
How do frozen foods go off?
If the certain food you have is meant to go in a freezer, and is not left in a freezer, bacteria gets on your food, and this causes it to go bad, by spreading germs all over the food, and if you eat the bad food, you could get a really bad illness that you may die from, dont ever eat bad food.
Does all food contain bacteria?
No, not all food contains bacteria. While some foods naturally contain small amounts of bacteria, proper food storage and preparation can help minimize bacterial growth and prevent foodborne illness.
What does the African snakehead fish eat?
it will accept all live food and often frozen food.
At what temperature will bacteria lay dormant on food in a freezer?
Food poisoning bacteria go dormant at and below freezing. All bacteria are dormant below -17ºC or 1.5ºF
Are all food bacteria classified as a yeast or mold?
no
