How long will vacuum sealed chicken last in the refrigerator?

Vacuum sealing is known to increase shelf life, but for how long depends on too many variables to give a definitive answer. The best way to store it is frozen.

One of the problems that many people do not realize is that vacuum packaged meat and veggie should be stored below 38°F. There are strains of Clostridium botulinum that will grow and produce toxins above that temperature.
