How long are sausages OK to store in the freezer for? It's just a regular 3-drawer fridge/freezer (not deep freeze) the door of which gets opened at least 2/3 times a day (whether I need anything out of there or not, courtesy of a little minx...) and they've been in there 6 months

Food standards agency says 'check the food label' well, if I had that, I wouldn't be checking their bloomin website!
Branded sites like richmond, walls etc. I can't find any info.

Have defrosted them in the fridge overnight so is it oven or bin for them do you reckon? Any help appreciated! xx

I wud bin em tbh i think its a month in reg freezers and 6 in a deep freeze. If they have pork in em its so not worth the risk

I think they should be ok, I've kept sausages in the freezer for months and we've been ok. As long as they are defrosted thoroughly and cooked until they are super hot int he middle they should be fine. I've been known to just chuck frozen sausages in the oven but doing it that way takes ages, about an hour or so as you can't whack the heat up too high too soon. xx

ooo er! I'm sure I go longer than a month usually but I guess 6 is pushing it by your estimation Mario ! Pork is properly dodgy though isn't it...

P.S. - pmsl - I have no idea what that symbol is in the subject line - it's bean's handiwork and I don't even have a key for that sign or know the shortcut?! Trying to do it again myself and I'm stumped

if they were fresh sausages, its only a month as a general rule,

2 to 1 for not risking it then. I'm guessing I should chuck out the meatballs that have been in there just as long...? Yeesh, hate wasting food but better safe than sick as a dog I suppose!

Now then, do we think homemade wedges and a can of tuna sounds just as appealing?!

Do you have any tomatoes? Tuna, tomatoes, cooked pasta all mixed together and put into an oven proof dish at 190 (gas mark 6 I think) for 20 mins then put grated cheese on top then put it back in for another 10 mins - delicious

Had tuna pasta bake yesterday funnily enough! and you've just reminded me I put left-overs in the fidge for lunch

Would do some chicken but won't defrost in time... Hmmm... looks like some dodgy-ass findus curry crispy pancakes God bless Tesco offers

I would have the sausages..... as long as it's cooked thorougly and piping hot I'd have thought it was fine? I have stuff like that for well over a month in our freezer and we've all been fine... (not that that makes it ok...)

bit if i were you id just go for it lol

That sybol thingy looks like a magic eye if you look at it long enough

Flick has managed to install things on our computer just by bashing the keyboard

Id bin the suasages, but im really picky about foods and know I wouldnt enjoy eating them. Id be constantly sniffing my fork & pondering how ill I felt on a scale of 1-10 all evening...

As for Caitlin and the laptop - her fave trick is to push a random selection of buttons that makes the screen go sideways. Nightmare to fix!

My OH says they are fine if you cook them straight away once defrosted, and he has to know these things working with food. We've had meat and sausages in the freezer for 90 million years and still used them and they've been fine hun xx

90 million years?!?!?!

Gosh you look so good for your age xxx

Thank you xx

I thought when you freeze them as long as the were frozen straight away ou sould keep them fo as long as you like?

I think I'd eat them if they were in there for 3 months but I think 6 would be pushing it a bit too far. Having said that I'm sure I've eaten stuff at MILS that's been cryogenically preserved since the dinosaurs roamed the earth

aslong as they are cooked properly they will be fine x whats the worst that can happen eh x

i eat thins that have been in there for longer than 4 months !! i never had bad tummy or kids have .. but i d o cook it to very well done lol

Im really fussy about food and wouldnt eat them. It usually says eat within a month on them x

I actually don't ever pay attention to the labels on the packets... they're in a worse case scenario really aren't they to cover themselves lol obviously I wouldt leave fresh stuff for months but when it's been frozen straight from purchase and it gets cooked straight away I dont see the harm... unless it's gone green !? lol.
