Suzie's Tips ... Delicious Food and Keeping it Safe

Safe Handling of Veal Fresh veal is kept cold during distribution to retail stores to prevent growth of bacteria. If possible, put packages of veal in disposable plastic bags, to contain leakage which could cross contaminate cooked foods or produce. Take veal home immediately and refrigerate it at 40 degrees. Use veal chops and roasts within 3 to 5 days, and ground veal or stew meat within 1 to 2 days. You may freeze veal at 0 degrees. If kept frozen, veal will be safe indefinitely, although the quality can be affected with extended freezing. For best quality use veal chops and roasts within 4 to 6 months and ground veal or stew meat within 3 to 4 months. It is not important if a date expires after freezing veal because all foods stay safe while properly frozen. Thanks for stopping by.
