Store fresh sausage in the refrigerator at 32–40°F (0–4°C) and use it within 1–2 days of purchase. For longer storage, freeze sausage in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag, where it can last up to 1–2 months. If the sausage is cooked, refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume within 3–4 days. Always check for any off smells or discoloration before use.
