Buying/Handling/Storing Tip:

Sealed, prepacked fresh pork cuts can be kept in the refrigerator 2 to 4 days; sealed ground pork will keep in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. If you do plan on keeping the raw, fresh pork longer than 2 to 3 days before cooking it, store it well-wrapped in the freezer.

Do not overcook pork or it will become dry and tough.Cooking to 160°F will result in clear or slightly pink tinted juices and provides meat that is juicy and tender.
