The length of time that meat lasts in the fridge can depend on several factors, such as the type of meat, the storage conditions, and the freshness of the meat when it was purchased. In general, it is recommended that raw meat be stored in the fridge at a temperature below 40°F (4°C) and be consumed within a few days. Here are some general guidelines:

• Fresh beef, veal, pork, and lamb can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days.
• Ground meat (beef, pork, veal, lamb) should be used within 1-2 days.
• Poultry (chicken, turkey) should be used within 1-2 days.
• Fish and seafood should be consumed within 1-2 days.

It is important to note that these are general guidelines, and you should always use your best judgment and rely on your senses to determine if the meat is still safe to eat. If the meat has an unusual odor, color, or texture, or if it appears slimy or sticky, it may have spoiled and should not be consumed. Additionally, if you are unsure about the freshness or safety of the meat, it is always better to err on the side of caution and discard it. Brought to you by foodedmonton.com
