How many times have you stood in front of your fridge wondering if those leftovers were still safe to eat? If you're like most people, this has happened more times than you can count. It can be upsetting to have to throw away food that has spoiled. Keep that from happening by eating or freezing food before it passes its prime.
Cooked meat and pizza only stays good for three to four days in the fridge. Raw ground meat only stays good in the fridge for a day or two, but you can keep it in the freezer for up to four months. Refrigerated chicken or turkey is only is safe to eat for one or two days but freezes well for about a year.
While food will remain safe to eat for longer periods when frozen, it may not taste as good after a while, so it's important to keep track of how long you've had certain items in the freezer. Don't let leftovers go bad again! For more information visit this website.
