How long is frozen beef good for? 10 pts ?

Question

how long after the date is it good if has been frozen?

Answer 1

   if you wrapped it good with freezer wrap or the plastic wrap you bought it in with another cover over it a year or more would be fine.

   the only problem is freezer burn which won;t hurt you but it zaps the flavor out of just the piece of meat that it covers and you can scrape that off with a knife so no harm. That is why you have to wrap it once you get it home to prevent freezer burn.

  I use freezer wrap bought at the store or leave it in wrap and put a plastic store bag over it and have never had a problem. the plastic wrap the meat is wrapped in has small pin holes not seen with the human eye and are used to let the meat breathe so that is why just throwing in freezer right from store will lead to freezer burn, so either rewrap or put bag over it.

Answer 2

If air tight 1 year look for changes in color ice build up or dry patches the kind look like dry skin
