Shelf Life Tips

  • Keep refrigerated.
  • Unopened meat may be kept in its original packaging when freezing — if freezing for longer than 2 months, overwrap packaging with airtight heavy-duty aluminum foil or place the package inside a heavy-duty freezer bag in order to prevent freezer burn.
  • Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
