I’ve read that you can freeze unopened packs of sandwich meat, wrapped in foil to avoid freezer burn for up to six months. What I would like to know is how it might affect it’s use by date. For example, if you freeze packs with a use by date of 1st April on 22nd March ( 9 days life ) and you open a pack two months down the line, will it still have 9 days life?

Answer is no - you should eat within 24 hours of defrosting.

In regard to freezing and then defrosting, I have done it plenty of times and used it over a few days without any issues. The trick is to dry it on kitchen rolls to absorb the excess water from defrosting, this reduces the likelihood of bacteria developing rather than leaving it wet.
