Average Shelf Life of Beef Primals Frozen Vacuum Packed
Hello,
May I know what is the average shelf life for frozen vacuum packed beef primals?
From my understanding, it is around 1 year.
Would you please send me some reliable sources so I can show my boss?
Your advice is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Canadian vacuum packed beef stored at -1.5°C has a storage life of 130 days or more.

Up to 24 months

For the record, when i buy a whole tenderloin (fresh) I keep that sucker in my 2nd fridge for at least 2 months to wet age, so theoretically, vac pac FROZEN would be indefinite for safety, but you will lose quality past 18-24 months (depending on freezer temp--the lower the better)
Thank you for your response.
Besides Canadian and Australian sources, do you have any American resources?
