How long can you keep mince beef frozen?

Raw mince beef can be frozen for up to 6 months. After 6 months, the quality of the meat will start to deteriorate and it may become unsafe to eat.

Cooked mince beef can be frozen for up to 3 months. After 3 months, the meat will start to lose its flavour and texture.

When freezing mince beef, it is important to wrap it tightly in airtight packaging to prevent freezer burn. Freezer burn can cause the meat to dry out and become tough.

To thaw mince beef, you can place it in the refrigerator overnight or you can microwave it on the defrost setting. If you are microwaving mince beef, make sure to cook it immediately after thawing.
