The science is pretty simple. If it's safe to eat, it's safe to freeze.
So, if the food was thawed in a refrigerator and not left there too
long, there is no safety issue to refreezing it. Freezing pretty much
stops any baterial growth and if the item was not allowed to get too
warm or contaminated in some other way, there is no problem.
Quality/texture may suffer depending on the specific thing.
