Answer by  ellie61 (478)

Flash frozen meats are meats which have been frozen at such low temperatures (below 0 degrees celcius) the water inside them freezes. This helps ensure the food does not perish quickly by inhibiting most bacterium from growing in such conditions and slowing down chemical reactions. It is also a very quick process.
