how long can opened bacon be refrigerated
NO!!!! The rule I've always used is 3 days. If meat (cooked or raw) has been opened and not eaten within 3 days, chuck it. The use by date on the bacon is for SEALED packages. Once its opened, more bacteria can get in, and there's more chance of contamination. Even if you have wrapped it well, there's still a chance.Your bacon in the freezer however should be ok.he rule I've always used is 3 days.
