How long can you keep meat in the refrigerator?
species
include
Shelf life
Red meat
Pig, Cow, Lamb
10~12 months. Among them, beef is more stable than pig, lamb is stable, lean meat is longer than fat.
Poultry
Chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, etc.
Shorter than red meat, 8 to 10 months.
Seafood, River Fresh
Including fish, shrimp, clams, shellfish, etc.
The shelf life is shorter than that of livestock and poultry meat. Generally, it can be about six months. It is best eaten within 4 months.
Although the theoretical shelf life of frozen meat is long, meat purchased from supermarkets is susceptible to bacterial contamination during the sale process, and raw materials are difficult to guarantee freshness.
In addition, household refrigerator doors often open and close, and sudden power cuts will cause the refrigerator temperature to fluctuate. Therefore, various meats purchased from supermarkets should be eaten within one month after being frozen. It is best to eat now and buy them.
It is also very important that early processing has a significant impact on the shelf life of frozen foods. Fresh fish, for example, can be frozen for 1 to 2 months without any treatment. However, after scientific treatment, the shelf life can be extended to Six months.
✦ Poultry, seafood, fresh sorghum should be cleaned, frozen inside and outside, and then frozen; other foods and meats need to be carefully cleaned before freezing to remove surface bacteria.
✦ Before all foods are put into the freezer compartment, they should be divided into one serving and carefully packed with fresh bags or plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss. It is best to label the outer packagings with dates and names for later use. .
✦ When you purchase the refrigerator, you should understand the cooling performance. In the ideal state, the frozen meat is fresh and uncontaminated meat is frozen rapidly below -25°C and stored at a constant temperature of minus 18°C.
