How this list is ordered

22 foods in this category have a page here, ranked by the figure each row prints: how long it keeps outside the freezer. Meat products, canned leads at 5 years in the pantry and 6 foods share the bottom at 1–2 days in the fridge, a spread of 1825 times across one shelf. 3 pages here (Lamb, Pork and Bison) carry kinds rather than one figure, so they sit at the end without a place in the order.
