Meat & Poultry
Cooked ham
Fridge (4°C / 40°F)
3–5 days sliced, 1 week whole
Freezer (−18°C / 0°F)
1–2 months
Store it right
- Wrap cut faces tightly so they don't dry out.
- Freezing can make cured ham watery — best used in cooking after.
Signs it has gone off
- Sour or sharp tang.
- Slimy sheen.
- Dull grey-green edges.
Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
