How long can you store meat and chicken in the freezer?


I have some stored since mid september and I want to know if its usable..

Raw meats will last about 3-6 months in freezer; more towards 6 months if wrapped tightly and securely. Also, as long as it was fresh (not close to being spoiled) when it was initially frozen, it should be no problem. It should be fine to eat. Now, the refrigerator, that's an entirely different story. 24-48 hours raw meat will last in fridge. Any longer than that and you're asking for trouble.

At home we recently found a joint of meet in the freezer with a use by date of December 2006 - when roasted it tasted perfectly fine, and we suffered no ill affects at all.

1 month on, 6 hrs off

In the freezer

Meat; roasts & steaks 1 year

Chicken; whole or cut up 9 months

Use it up by the end of March or first week of April that will be 6 months and after that freezer burn kicks in and then its unsafe to eat. And then your also risking your health and whom ever eats it with you. Glad to help and if you got alot of meat throw a winter Grill party its a good idea and uses it up.

Its ok for up to about three months. After that it starts to lose some of the texture, although it won't make you ill!

usually its 1 month

Of course it's usable. It is usable for up to 9 months.
