Years ago,I read that bacon and hot dogs should not be frozen.

 

Does anyone know if bacon can safely be frozen?

 

Has anyone here done that?

 

I bought three packages today at a good price and they have a June date on them. We don't eat bacon very often.

Re: Is it okay to freeze bacon?

Hello, @Enufstuff, I have been freezing bacon for years and have never had any issues. I take the package out and let it thaw in the fridge and then cook. There was no difference in the taste or consistency of the bacon. I have also frozen pork sealed in airtight bags and never had any issues.

I do this too. I have for years, but especially the past years when the prices went up.

We have been freezing bacon for years. We vacuum seal it in different size packages for recipes or to eat.

We stock up when they have bacon with meat on it. We won't buy it if it's a pack of fat?  

The meat market has the best bacon & sausage.

I do it all the time, never heard not to do it and can't imagine why one wouldn't. I freeze it in the package it comes in or, if I get it from the meat market, I'll rewrap in waxed paper, saran wrap, then foil.
