The only time I've ever had anything go remotely "bad" in
a Tilia bag was when one got nicked by something else in
the freezer and it lost vacuum and grew some freezer-burn.

Testimonial:

Because of my dieting, I have had about two steaks at home
in 6 months, but I have about 15 of them stored up.

A few weeks ago, on a splurge for hitting my goals,
I pulled one out of the freezer that was dated sometime
early last year when the local stores were going crazy
offering bone-in strip at 1999 prices.

Dropped the bag in a full sink of cool water, waited half
an hour, slit it open, and it smelled like I'd bought
it yesterday.

Grilled up perfect.
