How long can cooked meat stay fresh in the fridge?

Many believe cooked food lasts longer, but like other foods, it can spoil. Health experts advise storing cooked meat properly to avoid illness and maintain freshness. Cooked meat, including poultry, beef, pork, and lamb, can be refrigerated safely for 3-4 days at 40°F (4°C) or below. Watch for sour smells, slimy textures, or discoloration, which indicate spoilage.
