How Long Does Salami Last in the Fridge?

How long can you keep salami in the freezer? The shelf-life of salami can be extended by wrapping the meat and freezing it. If properly stored in a freezer, salami can be safe to eat for up to 1-2 months. The meat can remain safe for longer but consumption is most ideal during this timeframe. If you are freezing the salami, make sure the meat has not been sitting in the refrigerator for more than 5-7 days. The deli meat should be either kept in its original packaging, wrapped in cling-wrap or aluminium foil, in freezer paper, in a freezer bag or in an airtight container while in the freezer. How long can salami sit out for? Salami is not safe to eat if it has been sitting out at room temperature for more than two hours. Bacteria can grow if food is stored at temperature between 4°Cand 60°C, so if the deli meat has been sitting out of a refrigerator for more than a couple of hours you should throw it away. How can you tell if salami is off? You can determine if salami is spoiled from it’s smell and appearance. Salami meat with a slimy surface, a pungent smell or off appearance, do not eat and discard the deli meat immediately.
