A week before Christmas I bought some ribs. Praire fresh brand (same ones I see at Sams but a local meat monger had em on sale).
When I got them I asked the date on the box so I knew how long I could keep them. The pack date was December 2nd so I have been under the impression I have 45 days with pork to use them by.
This AM I started prepping one of the 2 packs I have left and found the pork to be quite odiferous, musty almost sour smelling.
I washed with vinegar and then rinsed before rubbing up but I could stil tell it had a bit of a smell to it.
Heres the question when does pork go bad?? How do you tell? and do I need to pitch these??
I always purchase and store in a cryovack and also have two shoulders with a packed on date of 11-18 that I didnt get to using yet that I'm wondering about.
Thanks,
