How long can you freeze hamburger?

Answer 1

In the United States, USDA recommends up to 4 months. Remember that how it is packaged will have a direct effect on the quality when you go to use it. Wrapping it loosely will allow freezer burn. Using those home vacuum packaging methods will slow down freezer burn, but other flavor changes can still take place. Don't forget to label the package with contents and the date.

Answer 2

Refrigerate or freeze ground beef as soon as possible after purchase. This preserves freshness and slows the growth of bacteria. It can be refrigerated or frozen in its original packaging if the meat will be used soon. If refrigerated, keep at 40 °F (4.4 °C) or below and use within 1 or 2 days. For longer freezer storage, wrap in heavy duty plastic wrap, aluminum foil, freezer paper, or plastic bags made for freezing. Ground beef is safe indefinitely if kept frozen, but will lose quality over time. It is best if used within 4 months. Mark your packages with the date they were placed in the freezer so you can keep track of storage times.

Answer 3

Hamburg is a city and only freezes in winter. You can freeze hamburger for up to a year or more safely. Make sure to store the meat in an airtight container or freezer paper or bags.
