Summer Sausage fridge shelf life
-
Assuming it was processed properly from quality ingredients, I would say a couple of months and it would still be somewhat edible.
The thing is, processed meat doesn’t just become inedible over night. The deterioration is gradual. Over time, flavors fade, color fades, as the cooked emulsion breaks down moisture and binders pools up in the packaging, the fats start to turn rancid and at some point spoilage pathogens get a foothold and start growing.

JLane I wouldn’t go past a week of consumption, but I don’t use ECA either. But even with the use of that it would be thrown out after a week and a half unthawed in the fridge
twilliams Does ECA extend fridge life? Also, if it was vacuum packed and unopened in the fridge, would you still say a week? I’ve never had any last that long, since I package in half pound package when I vacuum pack.

Mine lasts a long time. It’s cured, smoked and semi-dried, and I use ECA. We also keep our fridge a little colder than normal, and that also makes a difference.
