Freezing food will increase its shelf life but they won’t stay tasty forever.

Although frozen foods remain safe to eat indefinitely, flavours and textures will start to deteriorate over time.

To stay on top of your freezer and its contents follow our handy guide.

How long can foods be kept in the freezer?

According to www.foodsafetygov.com, the following timelines are guidelines for maintaining quality foods in your freezer only.

Bacon, sausage, burgers

Bacon can be kept frozen for up to one month, while raw sausages will keep for one – two months. Hamburger patties and other ground meat can be kept for three-four months.

Fresh beef, lamb pork

Keep steak frozen anywhere between six and 12 months, chops for four to six months and roasts for four to 12 months.
