It's recommended only 3-4 month in a standard freezer and 6 months in a deep freezer but is okay for up to 6 in the standard freezer and 12 months in a deep freezer. If in the door of a standard freezer they say best to be used by 2 months.

I'm having a brain fart and can't think of the brand. But... the purple box of bags... there's a listing on there that tells you.
