frozen chicken doesn't have a expiration date cause it is frozen.It does not get old.
Date marking frozen food is not necessary when the food will be eaten before its expiration date. The process of freezing food prolongs its life but does not allow it to be stored indefinitely.
Meat should not be eaten raw under any circumstances. Food that is frozen before the expiration date can still be thawed and cooked a few weeks later.
check tha date of expiration
The exp. date is assuming they are kept frozen & is valid.
';
Expiration date: Do not use/eat on or after that date. Best if used/eaten by date: Better if used/eaten before that date. Almost the same but when something expires you can't use/eat it.If it just passed the best if used/eaten by date it's ok to use/eat but it's better not to.
Turkey bacon should be eaten by the expiration date. The bacon only lasts a few days past the expiration date if kept well.
3 months afterwards
If they were frozen before the expiration date, there shouldn't be a problem. If they have been in the refrigerator, toss them.
If it has been frozen the whole time yes. If the expiration or best-by date was for fresh product, freezing it extended the shelf life. There is no risk of bacterial growth at 0°F, but cured meats don't last as long in the freezer as you would think due to flavor changes. Use the ham within 1-2 months of freezing.
if the meat was frozen before the expiration date then yes it's perfectly fine to cook and eat :)
