Kroger tells you 2 years. I had a Kroger butcher friend tell me that the steaks that are packaged on the shelf are packaged to be frozen for as long as two years in those packages. I have had them frozen that long without any problems many times over the years. I have always learned that poultry lasts longer if it isn't cut in smaller pieces and kept whole. After two years meat tends to lose it's flavor from fresh meat. Even if you don't notice it. I keep frozen fish, beef and poultry for two years all the time. After that- I get it cooked. But I normally cook it before it gets that old. Usually in a few months.
