Pig Headed said:I'm not a food safety expert, but I would think it depends on how it's packaged. I would think vacuum sealed would keep longer that just zip lock bag or foil.

Sawdustguy said:If properly packaged the FDA claims that Bacon and Sausage can be kept frozen and safe indefinetely. The quality of the Bacon and Sausage can change after two months. I however, have heard that factory sealed frozen Bacon can go Rancid in the freezer after only one week.
not stoppped slowed:shock:tjus77 said:How can something go bad when frozen? If something is frozen the decomposing stops, plus bacon is usually cured. As an ex-butchers apprentice, I was taught two things. Meat is not bad just because it is not bright red (but if it smells even a little, throw it out) AND, if wrapped right it will last forever in the freezer. BUT, you do lose some quality if you freeze any meat, but it is always still edible. My 2 cents.
