Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Pork Roast Dish expire?
If it's unopened and vacuum-sealed, it lasts up to a week past the sell-by date. Once opened or if it's homemade, keep in the fridge and eat within 4 days. If you've decided to freeze it, it's best within 3 months, but with a slight flavor and texture change, it's safe to eat for 6-12 months.
How do you tell if Pork Roast Dish is bad?
Trust your senses! If the pork roast dish gives off an unusual or overly strong odor, it might have spoiled. The color could also be a good indicator - if it has become grayish or duller than usual, the meat is probably off. And finally, if it develops a slimy or sticky texture on the surface, steer clear of it.
Tips for storing Pork Roast Dish to extend shelf life
• Store it in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking
• Use a shallow dish to store the pork roast dish in the fridge to facilitate quick, even cooling
• If you freeze it, consider portioning it into meal-sized portions before freezing, so you only have to reheat what you’ll use at one time
• For freezing, use heavy-duty cling film, aluminum foil or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn
• Always label with the date before storing it
