Storing Ground Beef

Store ground beef in a fridge or freezer within 1 to 2 hours after purchase. Fresh ground beef can be kept in a 4˚C refrigerator up to it’s Best Before Date but is best if used within one day of purchase. Keep it in a container on the bottom shelf to avoid contaminating other food with juices from the raw meat. Cooked ground beef can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.

You can store raw or cooked ground beef in a -18˚C freezer for 2 to 3 months. Thaw frozen beef for 12 to 15 hours per pound (500g) in the fridge or in a microwave. However, if you’re using the microwave, cook the beef immediately after thawing.
