Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still
cold below 40 °F (4 °C)".
"Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any
off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should
not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.

"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables

is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of
their quality as you can".
