How long can i keep a chirizo sausage before it goes to bad to be eat?

Answer 1

The answer depends on whether it is fresh or it contains preservatives.

Traditionally, sausage links were preserved by smoking for long hours over indirect heat at relatively low temperatures, but few of us today have the equipment or conditions at home to do this. The red color of many commercial sausages comes from preservatives such as sodium nitrate.

If sausages contain no preservatives, they are intended to be cooked and eaten immediately. Before cooking, they can be refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for as long as one year. Freeze raw patties or individual links on a baking sheet, pop them off, wrap them in foil, put them into plastic freezer bags and store them in the freezer.

Answer 2

I work at wal mart and we are allowed to keep it on the shelf for 7 days before we can throw it away. So once you buy it i would try to use it with in that week.

Answer 3

If you're not using the same day, toss it in the freezer. That way it keeps for a long time.
