Bison should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain its quality. In the refrigerator, keep raw bison in its original packaging or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or freezer paper and use within 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze bison at 0°F (-18°C) or lower, where it can maintain good quality for up to 6-12 months. Thaw frozen bison in the refrigerator, never at room temperature, to prevent bacterial growth. Once thawed, use within 1-2 days.
