Freezer Safety vs Quality

Food kept constantly frozen at 0°F (-18°C) will actually remain safe to eat indefinitely. However, the quality (taste, texture, moisture) will degrade over time.

Preventing Freezer Burn

Freezer burn occurs when air reaches the food surface, causing dehydration. To maximize storage times, always vacuum seal or tightly double-wrap your foods in heavy-duty freezer materials before freezing.
