Will I be fine eating frozen meat that's been in my freezer for 3 months?
it is more filter than man
Depends on how well it's wrapped. Vacuum sealed? Absolutely. Industrial packaging that hasn't been opened? Probably. Shitty ziplock bag? Probably, but freezer burns going to take it's share. I say it largely depends on how long that meat has been sitting our before it was frozen. Longer unfrozen means less when frozen. I say go for it if it wasn't turning before and it's properly wrapped. And if you want to test it then cut or break off a piece from the frozen mass and cook that. If you get sick or something is wrong then don't eat anymore or use what's left in the freezer.
It won't make you sick but it won't taste as good as fresh
I once ate ground beef that had been in the freezer for 3 years. it wasn't good but I didn't get sick. Generally speaking, meat is good indefinitely in the freezer, the only thing that matters is cumulative time spent not frozen.
It is my understanding that meat only goes "bad" from being frozen too long by some bourgeois notion of it needing to taste "fresh," there is nothing dangerous about it. Apparently it's safe to eat mammoths that got frozen alive during the last Ice Age.
What happens is that the fat in the meat goes rancid
When this happens depends entirely on the exact type of product (this affects non-meat products as well), its fat content and your freezer temperature.
Something like pork ribs can last a good 3 months in a home freezer. Processed meat like sausages can take some 6 months. Typical deep fried foods start to taste off within a few months.
If you store that shit in an industrial freezer with much lower temps then a chunk of pork can do a couple years no problem.
You'll notice it pretty much right away from the taste if it's gone off but the time period between bad taste and the food turning inedible is a very long one so it's usually not an issue. Wait long enough and you can immediately see when thawing or cooking the product that something has gone horribly wrong.
It depends on the freezer really... your average freezer attached to your fridge goes through cycles of thawing and freezing, not very large temperature swings, but small ones.
A deep freeze like people keep in their basement or laundry room stays super cold for longer periods of time and will keep meat longer. Bacteria is what makes meat go bad, bacteria can't grow below a certain temperature. All that happens is over time the meat or veggies lose their moisture content unless sealed properly.
If you vacuum seal meat and keep it in a deep freeze ot can last years and stay fresh.
It's not a matter of bacteria, it's oxidization which happens to fat eventually since you can't find fully oxygen-free environments outside of laboratories. No, a sealed vacuum bag is not actually oxygen free rather it's just low oxygen even if you use industrial grade equipment for it.
I tried to find a good summary but it's basically all research papers and textbooks.
I don't think anyone can argue about oxidizing meats and veggies anon... eventually everything will oxidize back into whatever the planet is made of.
It's more of the question will it go rancid or bad to eat, technically no.
>What happens is that the fat in the meat goes rancid
Then look up charts for fat types at -10, -20C and -30C
And make up your mind.
I still haven't experienced bad frozen food, but i've experienced texture loss on refrozen meals.
well it depends
i just deal with any freezer burn and go from there. it’s not anything bad can grow on the meat it just degrades so prolly won’t taste as good as you want it to
everyone in this thread was on topic except for you moron
She's wearing a cold-weather hat, and it's a thread about freezing.
If it's actually been frozen all that time you will be fine

I hope so, because we do all the time.

Google also told me that Schrader valve cores are left-hand threaded because their AI is crawling AI-generated blogs which exist only for the purpose of Amazon affiliate links. You should unironically switch to a Reddit site search.
Are you an idiot, or are you trolling? People have eaten mammoth that was found frozen in ice from 10k years ago. 3 months is nothing. I don't even worry about using "freezer" ziplock bags unless I think it'll in there more than 4-6 months.
He probably just hadn't heard that before. Have sex.
if jaCulinaly can eat year old freezer meat and be fine, you shouldnt have anything to worry about.
That's a man. (and his wiener is massive btw)
maybe in a regular freezer you open all the time.
But a chest freezer that I only open a couple of times a month will last years.
I got some deer meat I ate last year that was hunted in 2018, it was tasty and had no freezerburn
Almost all meats are safe to eat for up to six months if frozen and properly sealed. Even if longer than that, in most cases it will be safe to eat although the taste and texture will decline. If it's not sealed in an airtight container you might get freezerburn however.
Only note to this is that the meat is only frozen once and thawed once. Thawing and refreezing repeatedly degrades the meat drastically.
Your sausage should be safe.
