How Long Does Pork Roast Last in the Fridge?
USDA FoodKeeper lists pork loin roast at 3 to 5 days for “Refrigerator — date on package.”
The exact source row is Pork — loin roast, bone-in in the USDA FSIS FoodKeeper distribution. This page preserves each available condition rather than turning the product into one generic expiration date.
FoodKeeper storage table
| Condition | FoodKeeper period | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator — date on package | 3 to 5 days | Follow package and storage directions |
| Freezer — date on package | 4 to 12 months | Follow package and storage directions |
How to use this guidance
Keep raw animal products sealed and separated from ready-to-eat food. Refrigerator limits assume a refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below; freezer periods are generally quality guidance.
- “Date on package” starts from the printed package date.
- “After opening” starts on the day the package is opened.
- Plain refrigerator, freezer, or pantry periods use the base condition in the FoodKeeper row.
Safety versus quality
FoodKeeper helps consumers maximize freshness and quality. Short refrigerator limits can also help prevent food from becoming unsafe, while freezer periods generally describe best quality because food held continuously at 0°F (-18°C) remains safe indefinitely.
Calculate the storage date
