Best Answer

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. :/
