    As long as they were frozen soon after purchase, and your freezer has had no malfuncion, they will not poison you :)

    As long as they were fresh when you put them in I personally would keep them upto a year - but that is my opinion, I would never throw them out unless they smelled off when I defrosted them.

    Thanks alot, I know they were fresh when I bought them and I froze them on the day of purchase and nothing is wrong with the freezer. I will defrost them and as long as there is no nasty smell will use them. Anyone got any good recipes or is it just boring sausage rolls? :o
