Frozen foods last longer than the ones you store in the fridge. For example, you’ll still be able to cook ground meat, even if you leave it there for 3-4 months. However, beef, veal, lamb, or pork will last a bit longer, anywhere from 4-6 months if they’re chops, but 6-12 months if they’re steaks. Lastly, chicken and turkey pieces will be good to go for about 9 months, and if they’re whole, 1 year.

Still on frozen food, if they’re cooked leftovers, they’ll stay edible anywhere in the time frame of 2-6 months. Soups and stews last a bit less, from 2-3 months.

When it comes to keeping food in the fridge, ground meat, poultry, and seafood can only stay there for about 1-2 days; and roasts, steaks, and chops, 3-4. Eggs still in the shell go up to 3-5 weeks, and finally, egg whites have an expectancy of 2-4 days.
