Can anyone tell me how long a shrimp ring will keep in a deep freeze?
I bought it between Christmas and New Years and would like to use it
this weekend. Thanks......Sharon

I cant tell you for sure, but I was told that fresh meat must be sold by the
use date, other wise it is thrown away. Frozen meat (shrimp) also has a use
by: date, but it is legally ignored for a period of time before throwing
them away. Check the sell by date on your pack, and

This is a shrimp ring that has been frozen the entire time. It had a
cardboard sleeve, but I threw it out weeks ago...so don't have any
expiration date....Sharon

Thaw it and see if it smells OK. If so, taste one. Tastes funny,
toss it. If it has been in the freezer the whole time and not
defrosted it should be fine.

Thanks, it's never been thawed, so I'll check it out....Sharon

I'm not sure, but I do know that if you eat it, it definitely won't keep!

I wouldn't worry. I generally allow a year or more for frozen foods.
It's the aesthetics that go before the safety does.
