Well it won't have gone bad because it's been in the freezer but you may find the quality has deteriorated -taxture may be stringy, there may be freezer burn, flavour might have diminished. So, yes it is edible;)0

It depends upon the type of freezer. I presume you are using a 'deep freeze' model - i.e. minus 22 degrees Celsius.
Food will keep indefinitely at this temperature. I remember in the early 1990's it was reported that some meat from the EU 'beef mountain' was being released into the food chain. This meat was over seven years old.0 -
Many thanks for the speedy responses!0
