Question

like say 2 or more months past lol

i read it wrong , they are from march and april so ove r2 mths . 0.o. is it still safe though?

Answer 1

No. The expiration date is for the meat if it has never been frozen. You can freeze meat as long as you want, as long as it doesn't get freezer burned. 2 months, no problem.

Answer 2

At this short time, no. But since it is a pork product make sure to cook it thoroughly. If the expired date was a long time ago, I would throw it out rather than take a chance. Meat frozen for a long time can become "freezer burned" and taste a little off, or get tough.

Answer 3

If mean it frozen by the expiration date you can keep it in the freezer for a year but for best quality 5 months. Depends on how it is wrapped and whether you use freezer paper. It will not spoil it will just get more freezer burn or lose its taste. Safe to eat as long as it stays frozen solid.

Answer 4

The expiration date on meat in the freezer is three months.

Answer 5

It is safe to eat but if it's been in the freezer too long it can get freezer burn, which affects the taste. You can tell by looking at it .If it is freezer burned, it will be whitened and it will also have a funny smell while cooking.

Answer 6

It will be just fine as those expiration dates are for fresh unfrozen meats in the store. You can freeze and eat two years from now and it will still be good if kept frozen solid.

Answer 7

Yum, expired meat! Let's all have dinner at your house.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
