How long will vacuumed sealed meats stay good in the freezer?

Answer 1

If they remain solidly frozen, virtually forever. Around 20F or less (the temp most non-commercial freezers use), bacterial action zeroes out. Of course, freezing infectged meat won't disinfect it, but if the meate is fresh, then quickly frozen, you're good for a huge amount of time.

A few years ago, a gourmet club in NYC dined on Woolly Mammoth -- one whose corpse had been frozen in Siberia since the last Ice Age. No health problems -- and no commentary on how it tasted either :}

Uh, no that is a myth. No one in modern times have eaten Wooly Mammoth meat.

Answer 2

If properly done, vacuum sealing will drastically extend the life of your food. The following are approximate shelf lives for vacuum sealed products:

Fresh Meat: To maximize product life, store fresh meat in the freezer. Fresh meat should maintain its freshness for 2-3 years. Under alone, fresh meat should last 2-4 weeks.

Ground Meat: To maximize product life, store ground meat in the freezer. If vacuum sealed properly, this product should last for up to 1 year. If refrigerated, ground meat should last for 1 month.

Fish: To maximize product life, store fish in the freezer. Once frozen, vacuum packaged fish will last for up to 2 years. If refrigerated, fish should last 1 week.

Answer 3

Easily a year plus some extra. A vacuumed product stays fresh in the freezer.
