Detailed explanation-1: -Information. All sausages-except dry sausage-are perishable and therefore must be kept refrigerated or frozen. Uncooked fresh sausage can be stored in the refrigerator one to two days; after cooking, keep for three to four days refrigerated (40 °F or less).
Detailed explanation-2: -A pungent and rancid odor. This foul odor occurs from the increased growth of spoilage bacteria on the sausage. Spoiled ground breakfast sausage will have a slimy or sticky texture instead of a firm consistency that breaks apart if you squeeze the meat. The slime occurs from the build-up of spoilage bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fridge is the best place to store sausages. All raw meat should be stored at the bottom of the fridge in a clean, sealed package or container to avoid it from touching or dripping onto other things. Ensure your fridge is set between 0 and 4°C.
