fresh uncooked sealed meat can stay good 7-10 from purchase if kept inn fridge at the right temp. It depends on what type of meat. Some meat can stay in you fridge for 3 days but chicken and fish don't work. Cook those meats on the same day or the very next. Meat can stay in the freezer for much longer than that.
It depends on what meat you are talking about. Here is a rough guide and is based on 40 degree refrigerator:
Ham 3-7 days
Hot Dogs, 1 week if opened, 2 weeks if unopened
Bacon 7 days
Fresh fish/shell fish 1-2 days
Stuffed pork and lamb chops or chicken breasts 1 day
Ground beef/chicken/turkey/veal 1-2days
Stew meats, 1-2 days
Steaks/roasts 3-5 days
Poultry 1-2 day
Up to a week. Just to be safe go with 5 days. Rotten meat is the worst way to end your day...trust me. :/
Fresh poultry meat is when the birds are killed and sold in frontof you, They are not kept in the fridge,
Bacteria in the meat grow faster at higher temperatures. Therefore, meat is typically kept in the fridge.
As long as there's no meat mixed in with it, it should keep for up to a week and a half in the fridge. It goes dry the longer you keep it in there, though.
Fresh ground meat should only be kept in the refrigerator one or two days. If you want to keep it longer than that, freeze it.
if you just killed a pig and sold the meat to someone, it is called fresh pork
fridge!
In a fridge. It is best to be kept in the fridge.
About 4-5 days if kept in the fridge (come on people use your nose and your common sense!)
Cooked meat should be stored in the upper part of the fridge where it is colder.
Yes, you can freeze cryovaced meat . 6 months max for total quality.
Unless where it was left out of the fridge was as cold as the refrigerator, I would not recommend using that meat.
Several factors can affect spoilage, but meat should not be spoiled after 2 days in the refrigerator if # the meat was handled properly prior to sale # the meat was fresh and kept cold before placing in the refrigerator # the refrigerator maintains good temperatures below 40°F
