how long should hot dogs be kept in refrigerator after opening
If you can't use the sausage within that time, freeze it instead. Technically in the sausage family, hot dogs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks unopened or for seven days in the refrigerator after opening. In the freezer the time is one to two months. Luncheon meats can also be kept unopened in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for one to two months, but the time in the refrigerator after opening is less than hot dogs at three to five days.
