How this list is ordered

23 foods in this category have a page here, ranked by the longest figure each row prints, longest first. Meat products, canned leads at up to 5 years in the pantry and 7 foods share the bottom at 1–2 days in the fridge. 4 pages here (Lamb, Pork, Veal and Bison) have no single figure to rank by, so they sit at the end without a place in the order.
