how long does frozen ground beef  last in freezer
Also, grinding allows any bacteria present on the surface to be mixed throughout the meat. Bacteria multiply rapidly in the Danger Zone â temperatures between 40 and 140 Â°F (4.4 and 60 Â°C). To keep bacterial levels low, store ground beef at 40 Â°F (4.4 Â°C) or below and use within 2 days, or freeze. To destroy harmful bacteria, cook ground beef to a safe minimum internal temperature of 160 Â°F (71.1 Â°C). Other bacteria cause spoilage.
