Shelf Life Tips

• Keep refrigerated and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
• If freezing, place in freezer before the number of days shown for refrigerator storage has elapsed.
• If freezing for longer than 2 months, overwrap original store packaging with airtight heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or freezer paper or place the package inside a heavy-duty freezer bag in order to prevent freezer burn.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only - foods kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely.
