Answer:

Fortunately, the freezing process itself does not reduce nutrients, and, for meat and poultry products, there is little change in protein value during freezing.
Freezing is a critical food preservation method, since it stops microbial growth. Freezing keeps food safe by causing foodborne illness microbes to enter a dormant stage. Freezing does not kill microorganisms - therefore, it's important to properly handle meat, poultry, and seafood when cooking and defrosting these foods.
FDA suggests a method of food preservation accomplished by rapidly lowering the food temperature to below 32° F (0° C), at a minimum, and then storing food at a temperature of 0° F (-18° C).
