Storing Always handle meats with clean, dry hands. Store meat in the coldest part of the refrigerator or in the refrigerator's meat bin. Use fresh, raw meats stored in the refrigerator within 3 to 4 days of purchase. Throw away ground meats, sausage and organ meats after 2 days. Freeze meats in freezer-safe wrap at 0°F.
What is the safest way to store raw meat?
Store raw meat, poultry and seafood on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator so juices don't drip onto other foods and cause cross-contamination. When thawing meat in the refrigerator meat should be placed on a plate or in a container to prevent juices from contaminating other foods.
