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 does a package of smoked salmon last in the freezer? Properly stored, it will maintain best quality for about 3 months, but will remain safe beyond that time. The freezer time shown is for best quality only - smoked salmon that has been kept constantly frozen at 0Â°F will keep safe indefinitely.
