How long can meat be kept in the refrigerator?

Pork is refrigerated in the freezer for 2 ~ 3 days at most. If pork is frozen in the freezer, the storage time is 3 months.

At low temperature, especially when the temperature drops below-10℃, the water in the meat turns into ice, resulting in an environment where bacteria cannot grow and develop.

However, when the meat was thawed and recovered, the bacteria began to grow and reproduce again due to the increase of temperature and the exudation of gravy. Therefore, when meat is stored at low temperature, it must be kept at a certain low temperature until it is eaten or processed, otherwise the quality of meat cannot be guaranteed.

Extended data:

Meat cold storage technology is to store frozen food and frozen food at different temperatures in cold storage at different temperatures for a short or long time. Mainly suitable for the storage of meat, aquatic products and other foods.

Generally speaking, the cold storage is to store the food with this demand in order to maintain its required temperature and quality. Because when the temperature drops below-15℃, the freezing rate of food is high, microorganisms and enzymes basically stop moving and growing, and oxidation is also very slow.

Therefore, food can be preserved for a long time and has good cold storage quality. In addition, refrigerated food also requires the temperature in the warehouse to be relatively stable, and excessive temperature fluctuation will cause food spoilage.

Generally speaking, meat is irregular and gradually put in. After a period of time, the refrigeration temperature reaches-18℃, and the goods are also taken away from time to time. Meat products can be stored at low temperature for a long time, but from the perspective of economy and energy, the refrigeration temperature should be chosen for a long time. For example, meat can be stored at-18℃ for 4-6 months and at -23℃ for 8- 12 months.
