Planning for St. Patrick’s Day? Pay attention to dating when purchasing your corned beef! Uncooked corned beef in a pouch with pickling juices that has a "sell-by" date or no date should only be stored for 5 - 7 days in the refrigerator unopened. #FoodSafetyFriday 🧵1/6

If stored properly, frozen foods can last forever — but taste doesn't. Save this chart to ensure frozen meats retain flavor and texture. Aim to freeze foods at peak quality rather than at the end of their useful life. #FoodSafetyFriday #FrozenFoodsMonth
