Another would you eat this?

Maple bbq pork steaks from tesco. Date 30th Aug. Been in the fridge, unopened. No puffiness in the packaging. Just went to throw them out, seems such a waste.

I wouldn't because I don't eat meat. But the date says best before right?

I'd eat them, I basically ignore sell by and use by dates anyway. If it looks fine and smells fine and isn't moving it's probably fine. I'm still alive.

Yes

Fine to eat if they look and smell OK!

Yes

Sounds fine. Open it, your'll know immediately.

I doubt it. Meat is usually 'use by'

I’d smell it and go by that.

Yes, it's only 2 days, if it looks and smells OK

Id scrape the gastly maple syrup of then cook it. The sugar in the maple syrup is a preservative.

It’s harder to tell if the smell has changed when they’ve been marinated, and also to see if the texture has become slimy. I would be more wary of using these particular ones than I would some where I could see and smell just the meat.

If it smells ok then yes

Yes I would

Definitely

@EbiRaisukaree that's the problem isn't it. The marinade masks any changes in hiwit looks/smells.

Cook it well and it'll be fine 🙂

It'll be fine

Yes. But we get our meat from a butcher and it never has dates on, so I'm not a date-watcher by nature.

Smell it as meat is pretty good at whiffing when it is off. If not sure, wash the sauce off and then sniff.

Pork is pretty vile smelling when it goes off.
