Best Answer

Bacteria and fungi don't like living at such cold temperatures, just like us.

By keeping food at <4 degrees, the survival of these species is significantly inhibited, so they don't grow and reproduce as quickly as they would in normal conditions.

Why does food go mouldy?

All food has bacteria and little spores of fungi on it. Over time the bacteria and fungi grows but can be slowed by freezing and refrigeration. Though that is the case, they still grow and will eventually spoil.If you keep defrosting and freezing the same batch of food that is growing a bacteria colony right there. Same as reheating and refrigerating the same batch of food.
