2 year old venison?


Recommended Posts

Regrettably, I just found two small packages of venison trim in my freezer from 2010. I assure you this is an anomaly...most venison doesn't last the winter in my house. That said, if I thaw it out and it passes the eye (and nose) test, do you think this would be okay for jerky, or am I pushing my luck?

Meat in a freezer won't necessarily go rancid but will most often suffer from freezer burn. You can see this with your eyes. Like you, I recently found an old package of bulk sausage in the bottom of our freezer that I thought was long gone. It was vacuum packed in 2008! I opened the package and it was as if I just put it in there last week. Tasted fine.

In cases where I found freezer burn, if it isn't too bad I'll cut off the burned portion and use the rest. If it's too widespread it doesn't pay as there will be nothing left.
