if frozen, its good for 6 months
look for freezer burns
if it does not look good
then pitch



it is fine freezing meat does not kill bacteria but slows it down so keeping it frozen is fine to eat, it may have a little white look to it from being frozen but fine to eat.

Sure... no problem if within 6 months and never defrosted... older... freezer burn is the bigger issue (meat gradually dries out and toughens).



No, because your fridge is probably broken, freezers freeze things, not fridges



Yeah its still good. It either needs to be used or frozen by that date.



Yes, it is fine. Freezing keeps things from spoiling past the expiration date..



most likely yes, but if it doesn't taste right throw it away.



When in doubt throw it out.=)
