This,
Defrosting food gives any bacteria on it time to grow, defrosting and refreezing raw food makes this particularly dangerous.
Defrosting food and refreezing it without heating or processing it sufficient to kill bacteria is very dangerous.
It is worth noting defrosting and refreezing always carry some danger with it, so doing this when feeding small children, pregnant women and other immune suppressed people carries increased risk |
I agree. It is always worth taking extra precautions with 'at risk' groups.
However, freezing previously frozen raw meat after cooking is a fairly standard practice that even the FSA say is fine, without mention of the risk groups. So, in this case the risk can be assumed to be negligible.

I agree with freezing stuff which you cooked once, the freeze/thaw freeze/thaw operation described in the original post I might approach with more caution |
