The information I have found stipulates 30 day shelf life.
Well, I don't know much about cooking or food, but it depends on what state the pork is in. Does it smell weird? Look funny? If not then I think it's ok, but cook it first!
No, it isn't safe to refreeze uncooked foods, including pork. It should be cooked first and then frozen.
Some Times (possibly yes)
Yes.
No. You should never refreeze raw meats. You can, however, cook the pork chops and then freeze them.
yes, I have slow cooked pork butt, shredded it and frozen it. It comes back fine, if slowly thawed
According to the USDA, once food is thawed in the refrigerator, it is safe to refreeze it without cooking, although there may be a loss of quality due to the moisture lost through defrosting. After cooking raw foods which were previously frozen, it is safe to freeze the cooked foods. No, you should not refreeze meat once it has been thawed.
Yes. Once a food has been cooked (heated to 100 degrees centigrade) the bacteria in it are all killed off. However, just as with raw meet you must not thaw and refreeze cooked meet.
Yes, of course you can if it has been handled sensibly. The safety will depend on proper handling. See a USDA or agricultural extension service site for proper food handling instructions. The quality will suffer. it will tend to dryness more after the second thawing and will benefit from a brine soak and marinade before roasting. If you can use it in a sauce you will have better results.
If the garlic sausage was already frozen, it is not recommended to refreeze it once it has thawed. The safest bet would be to cook it and save leftovers in the refrigerator.
Yes, it does have to be cooked. All pork should be cooked fully before eating. Humans can get sick eating under cooked pork.
Cooked or raw, pork chops should never go unrefrigerated over two hours.
No, it is not a good idea. Thawing in the microwave speeds up bacterial growth. Any kind of meat that reaches room temperature should be cooked immediately, you can then freeze it. The only time you can refreeze meat is if it is still very cold or still partially frozen.
Yes, any meat can be frozen after cooking.
Yes but the pork is already preserved by salting. Once taken from the freezer do not refreeze.
Actually, that's probably the safer way to do it. Pork and beef will have different cook times and temperatures, and combining them after they've been cooked allows each one to be aequately cooked.
