Place purchased ham in original wrapping in refrigerator for 7-10 days maximum. Slices should be used within 3-4 days.
Vacuum-packaged hams, unopened, will keep 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Canned hams should be refrigerated until ready to use.
Leftover cooked ham should be tightly wrapped and refrigerated within 2 hours after cooking. Leftover cooked ham can be stored in refrigerator for 4-5 days.
Freezing deteriorates ham quality. If you must freeze, wrap tightly in moisture/vapor proof packaging. Freeze no longer than 2 months. Thaw in refrigerator before using.
