Shelf Life Tips
- How long do frozen frog legs last? The precise answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions - keep frog legs frozen at all times.
-
Properly stored, frozen frog legs will maintain best quality for about 9 months in the freezer, although they will usually remain safe to eat after that.
-
Are frozen frog legs safe to eat after the ‘expiration’ date on the package? Yes, if properly stored - commercially frozen frog legs will typically carry a Best By, Best if Used By, Best Before, or Best When Used By date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the frozen frog legs will remain at peak quality.
-
How long will frozen frog legs remain safe to eat? Frozen frog legs that have been kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely, as long as they have been stored properly and the package is not damaged.
-
How to tell if frozen frog legs are no longer good? If dry spots or discolorations have developed on the frozen frog legs, freezer burn has begun to set in - this will not make the frozen frog legs unsafe to eat, but it will harm the texture and taste.
