How long does pork tenderloin last in the fridge?

A fresh pork tenderloin should keep in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Once the meat is cooked, the leftovers will be good for another 3 days or so. As an alternative, the pork can be frozen for up to 6 months before it starts to dry out. For best results, thaw frozen pork in the refrigerator overnight.

Can you eat pork that's been in the fridge for 6 days?

If your pork meat comes with a sell-by date on the package, the meat should keep for a day or two past that date. If there's no date, assume whole cuts of pork keep for up to 5 days, ground pork for 1 to 2 days, and cooked and leftovers last for 3 to 4 days.
