Based specifically on the provided reference from [email protected], information regarding how long sausages last after a "use-by date" is not explicitly given for all types of sausage.
However, the reference does provide a guideline for hot dogs and other cooked sausage concerning their duration after the "sell-by" date.
According to the reference:
For Hot Dogs and Other Cooked Sausage, they should last no longer than 1 week after the "sell-by" date.
It is important to note that the reference specifies this duration relative to a "sell-by" date for hot dogs and other cooked sausages, not a "use-by" date for all types of sausage.
Refrigerator Storage Times for Different Sausage Types
The reference also lists general refrigerator storage times for various types of sausage, which are typically guidelines for how long they last when properly stored from the time of purchase or opening, rather than specifically after a date on the package.
| Type Of Sausage | Refrigerator Storage Time |
|---|---|
| Fresh Sausage, uncooked | 1 to 2 Days |
| Fresh Sausage, after cooking | (Not Applicable) |
| Hard/Dry Sausage | Indefinitely |
| Hot Dogs and Other Cooked Sausage | 2 Weeks |
Note: The Hard/Dry Sausage can also be stored for 6 Weeks in the pantry.
For hot dogs and other cooked sausage, the 2-week general storage guideline is further limited by the "sell-by" date advice, meaning they should be consumed within 2 weeks total and within 1 week past the "sell-by" date, whichever comes first.
Important Considerations
- These are general guidelines and proper storage conditions (constant refrigeration at 40°F or below) are crucial.
- Always check sausages for signs of spoilage such as off odor, sliminess, or discoloration, regardless of the date. When in doubt, throw it out.
This information is based directly on the provided source regarding the safe handling and storage of sausages and hot dogs.
