In other words is it safe to eat the food if it has freezer burn?

Freezer burn is a food-quality issue, not a food safety issue.
Most city and state health departments will list some facts and warnings about food...and you can link to those places and read for yourself.
Now, if the food was thawed and then re-frozen...I'd advise you NOT to eat it.

"Freezer burn," a condition in which the surface of food appears light-colored and dried out, occurs when moisture on the surface evaporates. Proper cooling, air removal, moisture-vapor-resistant packaging, a tight seal and an appropriate length of storage help prevent freezer burn. Keep your freezer at 0 F or lower. While a food with freezer burn is safe to eat, the quality is lower. You can cut away freezer burn spots either before or after cooking. If a food is heavily freezer-burned, it may be desirable to discard it for quality reasons. FOR MORE INFORMATION about how to freeze food to help prevent freezer burn, check the following links:

it will not make you any bad unless besides the burning there is bad smell which means bacteria is on it.
A plain burn means that the product has been in direct contact with the freezer and will do no harm except it will have unpleasant texture when eating because it is too dry. so just cut it off this part and use the rest, provided the product is in overall good condition

Cut off the freezer burn. If you cook it with the freezer burn it will not hurt you at all but it won't taste as good. Best bet is cut it off while still a little frozen, discard freezer burn, and cook the rest.

Generally, it will be safe. It may not be safe if it has been in and out of the freezer. That's a long shot.
Freezer burn compromises the flavor, texture and smell. To avoid it, be sure to wrap your product well and keep in a deep freezer. The constant opening and closing of the freezer fluctuates the temperature and shortens the life of most everything in it.

If you can remove the freezer burned section and cook the rest slowly, you should be able to have a decent tasting meal. Good luck!

I agree, cut off the freezer burn part, thaw and prepare as you had intended. We have had to do this and cannot tell that it has affected the taste or flavor, and not anyone has gotten ill from it.
