Is it true that freezing meat lowers its taste and texture quality?
Partly. Several reviews indicate that freezing, frozen storage and thawing can damage meat cells and impair texture, flavor and nutritional value, while other studies show that optimized freezing methods or additives can preserve or even improve meat quality. The evidence covers parts of the claim but does not settle it as a blanket statement.
