    Almost every other video and article on this topic only talks about meat stored at deep freezer temperatures so thank you for not only including info about over fridge models temperature ranges, but also safety. I was looking for the time ranges for safety and quality on a model that averages more like 10-15f and so far this is the only one I've found.

    My grandparents were hunters and my Grandma told me why they could store meat for many years with no effect on the quality. She said they dont clean the meat until they prepare it stating that once its cleaned it shortens the life span due to the contact with water. We had moose meat for over 3 years and was just as good as when they first killed it. She claimed that the cleaning of the meat then freezing it will cause freezer burn to occur over time but does not happen when you freeze it uncleaned.

    Wow a 4 or 5 year old Pork Roast is still good, and here I was about to panic about a 1year Jenny-O frozen Turkey. I'm still skeptically about eating it though. I throw a lot out at expiration date or even used by date. Great tips especially the ones about not using storage bags in the freezer.

Or call your meat 🍖 department in the store or Google it! Of course if in doubt throw it out! I don't buy expired meat unless it's for that day and must be use of cooked when I get home! Ya the best but date is okay it's gives a little more time to cook or freeze but don't wait to long after that date! ??? Hope that was some help? 😃 I just took frozen chilli out of my freeze with 2016 date it's now December 2019! Hope it's still good to eat? 😲 I hate throwing out food is a waste of money! 💰.... 🍕🍔🍟🍗🍖🍝🍛🍤🍱🍣🍥🍚🍜🍲🍢☕🍵🍶🍹🍷🍴🍕 🧀 🧀 🧀

    The date in grocery stores is a "Best By" date *NOT* a "consumed by" date. Food can be frozen indefinitely and is still consumable, *LITERALLY FOREVER!* All food in grocery stores is labelled with a BB date and can be eaten *AFTER* the BB as long as it has not spoiled. The includes Non-Frozen shelf food. Grocery stores generally do not sell food past the BB date because they have quality control. This *does not* mean that the food is gone bad after that date. There are a lot of resellers that will sell food at discounted prices _past_ the BB date.

    Rafiqmlmohammedrafiq Rafiq they should be fine for up to 7 years, however if you are looking to use them for ritual purposes you need to perform the rite within 7 days as on the 8th day the last remnants of the animals soul energy will have been evacuated back to the underworld. For summoning rites you probably want to act with either fresh goat organs or possibly 2 days old at the most because you need to holy corrin to be in tact and vibrating at an optimal spiritual flux. Hope that helps, hail the dark one.
