Bacon can last several days in the fridge, but the exact timing depends on whether it is opened, cooked, or still sealed.
The package date and storage conditions matter a lot.

Unopened bacon can often last until the date on the package if it stays cold. Once opened, wrap it tightly or move it to an airtight container.
Cooked bacon should also be refrigerated and used within a few days for best quality. Freeze bacon if you know you will not use it soon.
Do not use bacon that smells sour, feels slimy, looks gray or greenish, or was left out too long.
Bacon keeps better when cold, sealed, and used soon after opening. When in doubt, do not gamble with it.
