Vacuum sealed is the key. I have eaten it after being frozen 3-4 years.

One of my SILs gave us a copy of a Refrig/Freezer food storage chart from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

These are for the freezer!!

Steaks 6 to 12 months
Chops 4 to 6 months
Roasts 6 to 9 months
Liver never JK, I don't do liver
Cooked meat 2 to 3 months
Ground meat 4 months
Poultry 9-12 months (pieces - whole)
Bacon 1 month
Sausage 1-2 months
Ham (cooked) 1-2 months

That looks more like a chart sponsored by the American Council of Meat Producers.

Properly sealed I don't have a cut off. My nose and eyes are my decision maker. Now, I might not serve to guests after a certain date, but I will eat it.

I freeze my venison & dove / WW in water & can't tell the difference between fresh & 2-3 year old...as far as the purchased stuff, we have never left it frozen long enough to get freezer burn.

Vacuum sealed, a couple of years for beef/venison.

Fish is like 6 months for me.

lol for real

If it doesn't have freezer burn, i could eat it years later. My grandfather shot and processed a deer and stopped hunting. Seven years later he died and we ate the venison at the funeral reception.

Yep, that's crazy!! Bacon 1 month??? Sausage 1-2 months??? Completely ridiculous

[Kmart49]

Like others have said, if it doesn't have any freezer burn and passes the smell test, we eat it!

[Man]

2 years on meat ...6 months on fish is my thing.

I have had vacuum sealed meat out to a few years and was as good as new.

Fish out to a year and was fine.

Thaw it, if it smells funny, toss it.
