top... freezing itself, cooking is another ingenious workaround that can help you extend the lifespan of your meat and poultry, since the strong heat kills off lurking bacteria. Just make sure that the internal temp reaches the minimum needed to kill pathogens - 140 degrees Fahrenheit for red meat, 160 degrees for ground meat, and 165 degrees for poultry

topIf you wait too long after thawing to finish off the meat or poultry, for example, the quality could deteriorate significantly. That's because spoilage bacteria like Pseudomonads, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus - which love the cool fridge temps - start to grow

topFirst, a quick refresher on freezing: The super-cold temp - freezers should be set to zero degrees Fahrenheit or lower - stalls the growth of bacteria and other organisms. Importantly, it doesn't kill these bugs. Rather, it prevents them from multiplying (and further hurting the quality or safety of the item)
