How long is ground hamburger meat safe to eat after “sell by” date if it is stored in refrigerator and not frozen?
According to this website on safe food handling practices, ground hamburger meat should be eaten within 1-2 days of purchase. This applies to meat that is within sell date period and is stored at proper temperatures in the refrigerator. We do not recommend eating ground meat that has been packaged in meat market if it is beyond the “sell by” date. We recommend discarding the meat.
The following website provides helpful information for storing foods safely.
