Bacon can be frozen.

Bacon can be refrigerated or frozen.

If you're planning on cooking the raw bacon within a few days then it's okay to leave the bacon in the refrigerator.

If you're not gonna cook the raw bacon within a few days then you should freeze it.

When frozen the bacon will last for over a year but it's best to eat the frozen bacon within 6 months as the taste and quality may change and it may get freezer burn.

However even several years later the frozen bacon will remain safe to eat as the freezing temperatures keep the bacteria from growing.

Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back.

It is eaten as a side dish, used as a central ingredient, or as a flavoring or accent (as in bacon crumbles in a salad).

I buy boxes of bacon on sale and freeze it and have used the bacon even 5 years later and it's been just fine.

You can take the bacon out of the refrigerator the night before and thaw the bacon in the refrigerator before cooking it the next day.
