And I feel rather qualified to say that this article is utter and total BS. IF you vacuum seal the meat and IF you store it in a deep freeze (not the freezer in your fridge) I can say without any trace of doubt that it will last years.<\/p>\n<p>I routinely eat meat out of my freezer that is a couple years old and it&#8217;s fine. In fact, I have half a turkey from 2016 thawing out for dinner tomorrow. I believe the oldest meat I&#8217;ve eaten out of my freezer was over ten years old and it was fine.<\/p>\n<p>Articles like this try to be helpful, and I know many people would be aghast at the thought of eating meat that is years old, but I and my content gastrointestinal system are here to tell you that IF you freeze it properly you can get years and years of storage life out of your meat.<\/p>\n<p>So when you see a big deal on bulk meat, don&#8217;t hesitate to purchase it because you&#8217;re worried it&#8217;ll &#8220;go bad&#8221; or &#8220;Won&#8217;t keep&#8221; until you&#8217;re ready to use it up. Seal it, freeze it, and it&#8217;ll be good for a decade. Thats years of personal experience talking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to stocking up on food, there\u2019s nothing as convenient as filling up your freezer with a variety of frozen meals and ingredients, since freezing your food is the best way to guarantee freshness, long-term.
