When sausage expires, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. These tiny microorganisms can cause food poisoning, which is no fun at all! However, if you've stored your sausage properly in the fridge or freezer, the risk of contamination is lower.
So, what's the best way to store sausage? It's simple: keep it in the fridge at a temperature of 40°F (4°C) or below, and make sure it's sealed tightly in a covered container. If you won't be using it for a while, consider freezing it to prevent bacterial growth.
