Sealer Freezer
How long does frozen bacon last?
So, my fiance’s mother is CONSTANTLY giving us crap from her freezer… most of the time it is mysterious ice coated meat chunks in ziplock baggies that we politely throw away when we get home. Last night she gave us some bacon that was still in its original vacuum pack, and therefore not freezer burned and still looking quite like bacon. The expiration date on this stuff is Aug 2006, but I have no idea how long it was frozen before that (hopefully it wasn’t frozen after).
I read in our FoodSaver vacuum sealer instruction manual that frozen pork lasts for 6 months usually, but when vacuum sealed it lasts 2-3 years. Do you think that the generic “pork” header would include bacon?
I guess it would also be important to know how long the time period between packaging and the printed expiration date is. I think I have bought bacon maybe once or twice my entire life!
My local news station went through the things that get pushed to the back of the fridge, freezer, and cabinets last night on the news. I found the story on their webpage… here is the short of it. I will put the link at the bottom.
Uncooked steaks and roasts can last four months to a year, uncooked burgers up to four months, and bacon or sausage retain their quality for just a month or two
Federally graded, fresh eggs are safe for up to five weeks after the expiration date on the carton
Canned foods do not last forever either. Get rid of tomatoes, peaches and other high-acid foods after 18 months. Canned meats and vegetables can last from two to five years, if they are stored properly.
Ground spices can be kept for two to three years, whole spices three or four years. Herbs last one to three years.
As for leftovers, they should be refrigerated within two hours because bacteria multiplies quickly at room temperature.
If it were my bacon, it would be on it’s way to hog heaven. Hope this helps.
