storage life of vacuumed sealed meat
Hello,
I had a question about storage life of vacuumed sealed meat. How long would it be safe to use if frozen from the time of purchase? Thanks, |

If the vac seal is good and the packaging doesnt have any pinholes it it freezer burn is almost non-existent. Safe? It is kept frozen from time you bought it, I have stuff that I have had frozen for well over a year in vac bags with no issue at all. Found some venison from about two years ago the other day it cooked up fine :)

Well sealed, no leaks, fresh frozen and kept below 0*F. Over a year. After that theres claims there may be degradation in flavors, but i never noticed. good sealing is key.

After it having been frozen for a year, or 5 years, or 20 years....it may not taste as good as fresh meat, but it will always be safe to eat.

A deep freeze helps a lot too, not a ordinary Fridge/Freezer. .
