How long can you keep open fresh milk in the refrigerator after due date?
Milk is sold (if properly handled in the store) with an expected shelf life of five to seven days after the expiration date. The expiration date is for the store, not for you the consumer. That seven days is dependent on your fridge being good and cold (38 degrees Fahrenheit or colder). The colder your fridge is the longer it will keep. Signs that the milk is past it's prime include curdling in warm liquids, off odors and in the extreme - clumping.
Give it a sniff and if in doubt, throw it out!
How long will ham juicestock last in the refrigerator?
There are too many variables to give a truly accurate answer. The actual length of time depends on how the ham was processed, temperature abuse in distribution and by the consumer, sliced or unsliced, the microbiological condition when refrigerated, packaging and the temperature settings of the refrigerator.
If all the conditions are good, you could expect it to last 3-5 days.

Some meats are salted as the means of preservation. Other meats may be salted during processing or at home by the cook.
How long does meat stay good after it is defrosted?
When determining how long thawed food will be good, you have to remember that decomposition will pick up from where it left off when the food was frozen. How long it took to freeze will have a bearing on it, too.
If the ground beef was 3 days old when frozen, you might try cooking it from frozen. If it was freshly ground when frozen, the thawed meat will likely be good for 2 days.
Once thawed, the ground meat should be used within a day or two. Ground meat spoils quickly since grinding the meat mixes bacteria throughout.
How long can a banana last in the freezer?
== == * Even though bananas are a tropic fruit if left in a warm kitchen they will ripen much quicker and go mushy in approximately a week. Bananas SHOULD NEVER be put into the refrigerator. Don't throw those too brown bananas out ... make a banana nut loaf. * Note: This is from the Chiquita banana website: Putting bananas in the refrigerator will delay their ripening. The skin turns brown but the fruit inside does not change.
There are a number of different ways that frozen fish can be packaged, including
- fish fillets frozen into a block and wrapped in plastic or paper and placed in a cardboard case
- individually frozen fish fillets packed in bulk with a single liner inside a cardboard case
- individually frozen fish fillets each wrapped in a plastic sheet or bag and placed in a cardboard box with or without a plastic liner.
- individual fish fillets that have been vacuum-packaged, frozen, then placed in boxes or bags.
If you want to yes. It is much better fresh. Just make sure your bag is tightly sealed with no air inside. It will last for months in the freezer, but when you thaw it out it wont taste as good as sashimi. You need to pan sear it or grill it and make ahi fish tacos!(My favorite)
How long can baked chicken stay out of refrigerator?
This really depends on how long the chicken was on the counter during preparation time. My rules of thumb are typically anything can stay refrigerated for no more then five days and if it is changing colors or smell throw it out.
It will take longer to cook, and any ice that formed as it froze may interfere with your heat source (e.g. a grill), or water down what you're trying to make.
How long is chicken good after the sell-by date?
Well, if you haven't cooked it, frozen it, or taken a preservative measure, you probably aren't going to want to keep the chicken much beyond the sell by date. If there's any smell, even the faintest odd whiff, get rid of it. Its not worth eating bad chicken.
Obviously, freezing it is the best way of preserving the life of your chicken. The second best way is by cooking it, cooked meat will last longer than raw meat because being thoroughly cooked will have killed most of the bacteria in the meat. One of the ways you can extend raw meat a little bit is by salting it, either through a dry brine or soaking it in a salt water solution. (Its obviously better to do this when you first buy the chicken, rather than when it may be on its last legs, because salt is a preservative.) You could use a salty marinade, but you have to be careful how long you leave the chicken in the marinade, more than 24 hours, and it'll do bad things to the taste and texture of the chicken. And if you have a cold spot in your refrigerator, like I do, that's where I put anything I want to keep especially cold without freezing.
