Most embarassing question ever

[rachelmanija]

How long does unopened sausage sealed in plastic last in a refrigerator (not freezer)? I have one package of American smoked sausage and one of sweet Chinese sausage that have been there for quite some time, and neither of them have expiration dates on the package.

Since I have just had a horrendous experience with either stomach flu or eating a hot dog, I would want to err on the side of caution with anything remotely resembling a bad sausage.

Was up all night. Still afraid to try anything other than iced seltzer. Not fun.
