According to patch notes in 463874 update, refrigerated and deep-frozen are states of food cooling, therefore food items with temperatures above threshold values for those effects (4C for refrigerated, -18C for deep-frozen) should not be considered refrigerated/frozen. The only exception stated in patch notes is active refrigerator, in which food is considered to be refrigerated even if it's temperature is higher than threshold for that effect.
However, in current version of the game (464434), food with temperature above 4C gains refrigerated/deep-frozen status immediately after being put into atmosphere with sufficiently low temperature, despite not being sufficiently cooled. There is also special case with vacuum, in which food is considered to be deep-frozen, despite lacking any thermal exchange and not being able to lose temperature and actually reach -18C.
I'm convinced that this behavior is unintended and food shouldn't consider ambient temperature when determining it's refrigeration status.
Scenario 1:
1. Create food item
2. Move it into -19C carbon dioxide
Expected behavior:
Food would remain unrefrigerated while it's temperature is above 4C, and would remain refrigerated until it's temperature is above -18C. After the temperature reaches -18C, food gains deep-frozen status.
Actual behavior:
Food instantly gains deep-frozen status regardless of its temperature.
Scenario 2:
1. Create food item
2. Move it into vacuum
Expected behavior:
Food remains unrefrigerated if it's initial temperature is above 4C
Actual behavior:
Food instantly gains deep-frozen status regardless of its temperature.
