How long will meat last in the freezer?

Answer 1

For a few years if in an air tight container.

That will depend upon the type of meat. Fatty meats will go rancid in the freezer. So something like bacon or sausage will be good only for a month or two. Pork doesn't last as long as beef. Definitely plan to use frozen meat before a year is up, but sooner is better. See Related Links.
