Here are some tips from Karn Meats to ensure ground beef, vacuum packed ground beef and all vacuum packed meats and frozen meats are safely handled when it reaches your kitchen:

• Defrost Ground beef in the refrigerator, not at room temperature as you would with all frozen meats and vacuum packed frozen meats.
• Cook thawed frozen vacuum packed ground beef as soon as possible after defrosting.
• Frozen vacuum packed ground beef must be cooked to specification following USDA food safety guidelines to ensure that you are safely handling ground beef.
• Cook ground beef patties that are fully thawed to the center to the proper temperature. Frozen patties that are cooked may not be cooked to the center, even though the outside may appear completely cooked. Food borne illnesses can be contracted if you do not follow the guidelines for safely handling ground beef.
• The interior cooked temperature of Ground beef must be at least 160°F.
• Ground beef should be purchased before or on the "sell by" date or "last date of sale" and then used within 2 days of purchasing.

Vacuum Packed Ground Beef

A storage method that works well for fresh or frozen ground beef is vacuum packaging. It keeps beef fresh longer if the beef is properly refrigerated or frozen. The vacuum package is usually made from plastic bags. Ground beef is placed inside the bag, air is removed creating a vacuum in the bag, and then the bag is sealed. Beef that is frozen for long-term storage in vacuum packages (or other types of packaging) can be dated so that it can be used within the proper time limit: one year for raw beef cuts, four months for vacuum packed ground beef, and three months for meat cooked to specification.
