Cold Storage Chart: Ham, Corned Beef
 |
Select a food category to view the USDA's recommended refrigerator and freezer storage time limits. The listed time limits will help keep refrigerated food (40°F) from spoiling and provide safe food protection. Because freezing (0°F) keeps food safe for long periods of time, the recommended storage times for the freezer are for quality only. |
