Researchers at the University of Toronto's Quality of Life Research Unit define quality of life as The degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life (UofT).
The shelf life of cold-smoked salmon is very short, one to two weeks in the refrigerator and about one month in the freezer. Storage time is another critical factor in the proliferation of Listeria bacteria since it can grow at low temperatures.
How long can you safely keep smoked salmon, packaged in sandwich baggies, in the refrigerator? I have read online that it only keeps for 5 days! Smoked salmon around here doesn't last 5 days...it gets eaten! If you use a Foodsaver and seal it up it will last longer, maybe a couple weeks in the fridge.
