How to Store Bacon in the Refrigerator

Keep the bacon in its original packaging or place it in a sealed container or resealable bag to prevent odors and cross-contamination.

Make sure the temperature in your refrigerator is set below 40°F (4°C) to maintain food safety.

Store the bacon in a meat drawer or the coldest part of the fridge.

When the bacon package has been opened

wrap the remaining slices tightly in plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or place in airtight container.

This prevents them from drying out and absorbing odors.
