Refrigerate in the meat drawer on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator whether its prepackaged or in an airtight container.

These meats can also be frozen for one to two months for best quality. Frozen foods are safe indefinitely (kept at 0 °F). Freeze in original packaging or wrap in plastic wrap or freezer paper. Thaw in the refrigerator.
