Poultry

Jackson's Poultry is within the 100 mile diet. It is all raised free-run and without growth hormones or antibiotics.

If you have purchased a fresh whole chicken or turkey, remove giblets and refrigerate in a covered container for use within 2-3 days. Whole chickens and turkeys can be kept frozen for 1 year, parts for 6 months. Once thawed, treat as fresh meat and do not refreeze until cooked. Ground poultry can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day, in the freezer for 2-3 months. Cooked meats or cold cuts should be used within 3-4 days after placement in the refrigerator, 2-3 months in the freezer. (**Note: count the number of days from the "packaged on" date.)

Storing Cooked Poultry: 
Cooked poultry can by stored in a covered container, plastic bag or aluminum foil for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. (NOTE: After cooking, keep the meat hot, above 140°F(60°C) or refrigerate below 40°F(4°C).)

Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
