Keep it longer
Keep raw meat on the bottom shelf in a container so juices can't drip onto other food. Freeze it if you won't cook it within the fridge time.
Common questions
How long does pork roll last in the fridge?
Until the package use-by date (7 days once opened) in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below, according to USDA FoodKeeper data.
How can I tell if pork roll has gone bad?
Throw it out if you see mold, a slimy texture, an off smell or an odd color. For anything perishable, go by the storage time rather than smell: bacteria that cause food poisoning don't usually change how food looks or smells.
