So I found this pork tenderloin buried in the Ol’ deep freeze. I’ve never had a power outage and the freezer has been operating perfectly fine the entire time.

No, throw it away.

I would, but typically moreso with meats that you can cook longer and slower. Ribs or pork shoulder or brisket that old would be ok for me. A steak maybe not
sbreadm
Well if you’re really hungry…
MattDaaaaaaaaamon
If you froze it before that date and never had a power outage, sure, why not?
BlueCornTortilla69
Yeah, its fine.

Meat doesn’t go bad while it’s frozen. As long as it’s been completely frozen the whole time (and was frozen before the date indicated) it’s safe to eat, but it’s probably not going to be that good. I’d eat it if I was hungry, and there was nothing else in the fridge, and the grocery store was closed. But for the loss of $7 it wouldn’t be my first choice for dinner tonight.

Absolutely. It looks like a cryopac so even better. It will be fine. If it is not, your nose will tell you.

Frozen beef doesn’t expire. The quality of it may deteriorate, but as long as it’s stayed frozen it’ll be good

Sure! You can cook it no prob!
Just make sure you’ve got your will ready and everything sorted.
SomerAllYear
Oooo that’s going to taste like nasty freezer burn.
MillerBurnsUnit
Nope.

It might be your best cook to date!
DuffyBravo
Um yeah!!
casebarlow
If frozen, definitely

Personally, I wouldn’t feed that to anyone. It’s probably fine if you froze it, but I’m a fan of fresh.
zomsucks
Just accept your 7 dollar loss and go buy fresh.

600 day old. You could probably sell that to Salt Bae.

My father in law’s chest freezer would like a word

Does it look freezer burned?
If yes, toss it. If no give it a try
OlGusnCuss
Hell yeah. Wouldn’t think twice as long as there no/little freezer burn.

What is it and how do you plan to cook? The texture likely would not be great If it was a steak thrown on the grill, but if it’s ground beef chili roast in crockpot it’s fine. This assumes it was frozen before that date and has remained frozen the entire time.
egbert71

My buddy had same question about some old meat too. It was frozen untouched like yours. So he cooked it and ate it and then his ass exploded while driving down the highway on his chopper. I never laughed so hard but I felt so bad. Just let that be warning.
CCDocbar17
Yes!! Is it freezer burnt? If not bad. Thaw, smell, BBQ and enjoy. I raise beef cattle. Just finished a 2 year half beef. You’re all good.

I would cook it, but perhaps serve it to my ex.
mikeisaphreek
Yes. To feed to my enemies

If it was just thrown in the freezer in the package it came in, it is likely freezer burnt. It might be edible, but it might not taste good.

Please try and tell us what you think.

Yeah , I’m taking the 7$ loss .

Defrost and decide. Listeria is a possibility

If it was frozen before that date, and remained frozen until now, it might not taste the best (freezer burnt), but it will be safe to eat
MaxFury80
If it was thawed out totally……this is how I live. I buy stuff on sale and freeze it for later with a vacuum sealer.
ForbidInjustice
100% hell yeah. I ate a flank a couple weeks ago that I got in JUN 2022. It had been in the deep freezer in a Ziploc freezer bag ever since. No freezer burn, no noticeable quality loss. I was surprised.
RelaxedPuppy
Has it been frozen?

I grilled some COVID-era Sam’s Club chicken breasts a couple of weeks ago. If it’s been in the chest freezer the whole time and hasn’t defrosted, you’ll be fine.

If you have a halfway decent freezer it’s fine, I have eaten meat that is 5 or 6 years old…
