How Long Does Sausage Last in the Fridge?

Sausage can last in the fridge for 1-4 days depending on if it is cooked or not.

Sausage that is not yet cooked can last in the fridge for one to two days.

Cooked sausage can last up to four days.

Properly stored, sausage in the freezer can maintain its best quality for about six months.

There are still other considerations regarding how long sausage lasts, such as the storage conditions and how the sausage was prepared.

Unopened, prepackaged sausage can be placed in the fridge upon its arrival and will usually have a “sell by” or “use by” date.

If you’re unsure how long your sausage has been sitting in the fridge, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and throw it out.
