Because freezing keeps food safe almost indefinitely, recommended storage times are for quality only!. Refer to the freezer storage chart at the end of this document, which lists optimum freezing times for best quality!.

If a food is not listed on the chart, you may determine its quality after defrosting!. First check the odor!. Some foods will develop a rancid or off odor when frozen too long and should be discarded!. Some may not look picture perfect or be of high enough quality to serve alone but may be edible; use them to make soups or stews!. Cook raw food and if you like the taste and texture, use it!.

Depends what it is!. Most well-cooked meats (Chicken, Beef, Pork) are good for 2-4 weeks depending on the quality of the freezer!. Anything with eggs in you need to be a bit careful with though, I'm not sure how long they last but its not as long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Until it gets freezer burnt!. Then it's dog food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
