How long can meat last before it goes bad?
Well i just went through the deep freezer and pulled out some pork from 2010. It smelled normal, so i seasoned it and put it in the fridge to cook for dinner.
Question is how long can meat last in a deep freezer before its bad? Mine are all in butcher freezer paper.

Re: How long can meat last before it goes bad?
Well they dug up a mastadon frozen in the arctic and served it at some scientists banquet. It was 10,000 years old. I wouldn't go that long obviously. But if its air tight and not freezer burned I would say 5 years, as a guess?. I actually have a little bit from 10/11 season that's vacuum sealed and still looks fine to me. However my father in law brought over a prime rib for Christmas for me to cook last year. I unwrapped it and it was from 2007. It went to the garbage because it was plum nasty looking

My dad was cleaning out his freezer last year to fit some fish in it, and he found 3 packs of deer burger and 2 packs of sausage that had got shoved to the back behind some bags of ice. They were labeled from 2007, so he asked if I wanted them. Made some great spaghetti and chili!

Freezer burn is the enemy over time, but if it's not over a couple years it will make good sausage. We always have several 2 gallon bags of trim that are 2-3 years old added to fresh meat when we make sausage each year. Same goes with the chops and fry meat that may get hidden under something, they are added to the sausage meat. I found several Feb. 2010 bags of chops a few weeks back, they were in the zip-loc vaccum bags and they were fine, I was surprised! Treefarmer

Wild Game is like I've always said, it ia all how it is prepared from the begining... It starts when you kill it until the time you eat it. If it is not processed right, packaged correct and cooked properlyit ain't right. I always tell people that tell me that they don't like wild game...you ain't had mine!

Re: How long can meat last before it goes bad?
I guess it depends on your definition of "bad." If it's freezer burnt, it's not going to taste good but will still be perfectly safe to eat.
Re: How long can meat last before it goes bad?
I will take anything freezer burned that you don't want. Please contact me.
