How long is sausage good past the sell by date?

* Unopened, refrigerated sausage: 1-2 days past the sell-by date

* Opened, refrigerated sausage: 3-5 days past the sell-by date

* Cooked sausage: up to 2 weeks past the sell-by date, if stored in the refrigerator

* Frozen sausage: up to 2 months past the sell-by date

If you are unsure whether sausage is still good, it is best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
