How long can deli meat stay fresh in frige?!
I bought some deli turkey from Costco and keep it in a sealed container!. It's been in the refrigerator for about a month and starting to smell a little weird!. Should I just throw it away!? I'm kind of afraid to taste it to see if it's still good, haha!.
also, other than putting it in the freezer, what can I put the turkey in so that it lasts longer!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
If you leave it in the fridge any longer it will evolve into an intelligent life form!. Even seven days is pushing it I think!. Toss it out before you make yourself sick!.
Freezing is the only way to be able to trust it past a week!. When you get this stuff home, divide it into smaller portions so that you can take enough out of the freezer to only last a day or two!. Grab the next portion the night before and put it in the fridge!. It will thaw out and still be fresh enough for a sandwich or for nibbling on!.
Keep it tightly wrapped at all times to maximize it's freshness!.
What's that in the back corner on the second shelf!? Is that the cottage cheese learning to talk!? It sounds like it said, "Take me to your leader!."

Oh my gosh, it's gone bad, get rid of it!
Nothing you do can make it last longer than a month unless you freeze it!.
How long deli meat lasts varies depending on its freshness in the store, and the quality of the meat to begin with, as well as the additives!.
I don't expect deli meat to last longer than 4-7 days max in the fridge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dump it!.
I would suggest 2-3 days, maybe a little longer for poultry, but cold meat and luncheon (bologna) will last longer!.
Keep it in a zip lock bag and after you use some do the zip up until it is almost closed!.
Carefully fold to expel as much air as possible!.

An employee at a deli once told me that turkey doesn't keep longer than about 3 days!. Ham will last about a week!. If you've had anything a month the safest thing you can do is throw it out!. Don't even give it to the dogWww@FoodAQ@Com
Fresh cut deli meat will stay fresh for at least 5 days!. Packaged meat (ie: Budig or Oscar Mayer) will stay a little longer due to all the preservatives!.
In other words THROW IT AWAYWww@FoodAQ@Com
