How long does pork keep in the freezer?

[gomes]

We were cleaning out our chest freezer yesterday and found a lot of hidden treasures, many of which we unfortunately had to throw away, like a once beautiful sirloin tip, that is now visibly discoloured. However, I did unearth two racks of pork spareribs, which were vacuum packed. They don't really look bad, but it probably has been down there for at least a year. Are they still safe for consumption and is there a rule of thumb for keeping vacuum packed pork in the freezer?

If the ribs were vacuumed packed and they don't look freezer burned, smell them and if they seem okay, I'd cook them. Here's a site with similar info: http://www.askthemeatman.com/pork_fre...
