How long does it take for salmonella to form on thawed ice?

Hello. I just bought some ice cream at the supermarket and forgot about it. It was already very soft, almost runny. I froze it and just ate a portion – it was tasty. However, I've now read that salmonella could have formed in it and that you shouldn't refreeze ice cream under any circumstances. As I said, the whole incident happened less than ten hours ago. Could anything dangerously large have formed on the ice cream in that time? Obviously, I wouldn't store it for another week, but it shouldn't be a problem until tomorrow, right?

Salmonella can already spread strongly within 20 minutes. Don't worry, because ice from the supermarket is so well pasteurized that there are no salmonella in it. (:
