Enjoy the rich, gamey flavor of venison sausages, a premium choice for grilling, pan-frying, or adding to hearty stews. Properly stored, these delicious sausages maintain their quality and safety for your culinary adventures.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F). For longer storage, freeze at -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Venison sausages freeze exceptionally well. For best results, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in freezer-safe bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Thaw sausages overnight in the refrigerator for safe consumption. Avoid thawing at room temperature. Once thawed, cook within 1–2 days and do not refreeze.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or ammonia-like smell.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the casing.
• Discoloration, such as a grayish or greenish hue, especially if they were originally bright red or pink.
