Once a hard, dry sausage is opened, it can be stored in the refrigerator for three weeks. Semi-dry sausages like summer sausage can be stored in the refrigerator unopened for three weeks. Once opened, they can be stored in the refrigerator for an additional three weeks. All sausages can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.
If you can't use the sausage within that time, freeze it instead. T echnically in the sausage family, hot dogs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks unopened or for seven days in the refrigerator after opening. In the freezer the time is one to two months. Luncheon meats can also be kept unopened in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for one to two months, but the time in the refrigerator after opening is less than hot dogs at three to five days.
