How long after packaged on date can roast be kept?

Raw roast can typically be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days after the "packaged on" date if stored properly. If you need to store it for a longer period, freezing is recommended, which can extend its shelf life for about 4 to 12 months, depending on the type of roast. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as off smells or discoloration, before cooking.
