Pork mince four days out of date

[TheTwirlyPoos]

Looks absolutely fine. Eat or bin?

Go by the smell, if it smells ok in the middle then I would eat it.

Bin 🗑️

I wouldn’t chance it. It could end up costing you more in extra supplies of toilet paper than the pack of mince.
🤢 💩

God no

If it had been bought from a butchers and not a supermarket it wouldn't have a use/sell by date on it. You would have to use your eyes and nose to tell if it was ok.
Smell it. Feel it, is it slimy? Look to see if it's discoloured.

Out of date pork mince is the only thing I’ve ever had food poisoning from so on that basis I’d bin, although technically if it smells ok it should be fine

Very dodgy! Pigs eat all sorts so you have to be careful. Also I'm sure this is where the religious aspect comes in - most cultures that don't eat pork are from hot countries where it can go off very quickly.

Do not eat the rotten swine mince 😱

@DiscoBeat The speed at which meat goes off is not a determining factor in whether people of different religions eat them! In Judaism pork is not allowed because pigs aren't ruminants, and in Islam because they're considered unclean.

No slime or discolouration at all. hm. Maybe I won't chance it.

No. I'd risk it after a day or two if it smelled and looked OK, but 4 days is too long. You can't see/ smell all bacteria that may be there.

I would eat out of date beef mince if it looked and smelled OK, but I don't think I'd chance it with pork.

4 days? No I wouldn’t risk it.

Pork - not a chance I'd risk it. Absolutely bin.

If it looks and smells fine, I'd use it ( has it been sealed and refrigerated properly?)
I'm assuming you'll be cooking it thoroughly and for quite a long time?
I wouldn't, for instance , use it for meatballs that you may be shallow-frying?

I recently cooked and ate pork steaks that were 5 days out of date. They smelled, looked and tasted fine and nobody was ill. They were in a sealed packet in the coldest part of the fridge. I did get worried after eating them that I'd have made everyone ill for the sake of throwing away something worth a few quid but I hate food waste.

I hate food waste. But I have food poisoning more. Bin it.

Nope

I’d smell it. If all normal I’d cook and eat. But if a hint of a whiff I’d bin.

Smell it and if it looks okay. Would only do it if its from the butchers tho

Mince is apparently quite high risk for bacteria /food poisoning. I'd most definitely bin it.

No I wouldn't at 4 days past

Why? Supermarket meat will have more preservative.

Christ Almighty, you’ll lose your eyeballs through the back door if you eat that. Bin!

Not pork, no
