Is vennison frozen in a deep freezer since nov. 2001 still edible?? It was stored in plastic and freezer paper
The deer was taken, processed, and immediately frozen in Nov. of 2001. Wrapped in plastic wrap and freezer paper by the processor. I have ground and backstrap meat.
Any knowledgeable answer would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Answers:
Theoretically, when meat is frozen correctly and maintained at the optimal freezing temperature, it should stay good forever. However, it is hard to guarantee, particularly with home freezing, that the meat will remain safe and of good quality for eating. The following is a list of how long most meats can be frozen and maintain a high quality.
Bacon or sausage: one to two months Ham, hot dogs or cold cuts: two to three months Raw roasts, steaks or chops: four to twelve months Raw ground meat: three to four months Cooked meat: two to three months Raw, whole poultry: one to two months Raw poultry parts: nine months Cooked poultry: four months Raw, wild game: eight to twelve months..Blessings!
