fasteddie Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 If you have venison stored in the freezer with No Freezer Burn , how long is it good for to eat safely ? I have some packaged burger that is a couple years old and looks good . No freezer burn on it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJWNY Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Sounds like a great freezer.... I would think should be good to go, but if something is wrong with it you would know as soon as it is thawed, if the smell seemed off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-light Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I've had 2 year old meat that was fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Juice Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I agree with JJJWNY. You will know it when the meat is thawed out. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I have had a couple of year old meat before. Always vacuum bag my stuff and it smells fresh after 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Yeah I agree with the others. If meat is bad, it never is any secret. The nose knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The important thing is getting all the air out of the bag before sealing. I have eaten three year old meat with no problem, but choose to make chili/etc. out of it. Although fine, it may not pass for #1 prime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Mine mixed with pork and other meat grind, so like to use it up in 8 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Hillbilly Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 If it’s ground, I make meatballs, taco meat, or meatloaf. If it’s not ground up, no matter what the cut of meat, I turn it into jerky. Never killed me and never a complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyman Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 My freezer is -12 degrees. It's not a matter of "safe" to eat as much as retaining taste. I've noticed that after thawing and cooking meats that have been in the freezer for a few years they seem to lose some of their taste. That's why I write the date on all meats and try to use within the year. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airedale Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 From what I know it is all about getting exposed to air, as long as it is frozen with no air intrusion it will not spoil, as time goes by it will not have the taste of fresher meat but it won't kill you. LOL I once watched on TV one of those Discovery Channel shows about excavating Wooly Mammoths out of the frozen tundra of Siberia. One specimen was so well preserved that one of the crew cut off a slab of several thousand year old flesh cooked it and ate some of it. According to that tale it tasted fine and nobody got sick from eating it. Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
