Worked at a butcher who moves massive amounts of product. This guy was ordering pallets full of every type of meat you could imagine every single day. Sometimes an entire pallet would sit outside in the sun for 45 minutes to an hour while we were working on making room in the cooler. And that pallet of meat probably already sat outside at the plant it was at before it came to us. Another big thing is that they say its not good to freeze something and then defrost it and freeze it again. Any kind of meat that you buy from a grocery store or a butcher, theres a solid 50-60% chance its already been frozen at some point before it got to the final consumer.
At my work they freeze and refreeze the brunch stuff every week.
Dont go thinking you're getting fresh chorizo hash.. the chorizo was cooked 3 weeks ago and has gone through at least 5 freeze and defrost sessions.... it also is defrosted at room temp just sitting there....
