How long is pulled pork good for?

Pulled pork leftovers should be placed in air-tight containers and refrigerated for up to a week in the fridge. You can freeze them for up to three months. I like to have my leftover pulled pork WITHOUT sauce so I can sauce based on the recipe I’m making!

How to Freeze Leftover Pulled Pork

You can easily freeze the leftovers too! Double bag the leftover pulled pork in a storage bag, then a freezer bag. Put 2 cups in small pint or quart-sized storage bags and then place 3-4 of those into a larger gallon sized freezer bag. This allows you to pull out a small portion for 1-2 or a a couple of them for larger meals!
