To use this bacon?

[HannaPintura]

I opened some bacon on Saturday evening but didn't get to use it. Would it still be ok to use now? There is quite a bit so would it be fine after four days of being open to put the rest in freezer? It's been in a Tupperware container in the fridge.

I wouldn't, DH would.

Sorry if that doesn't help!

Well I would have no issue with it, but I have a cast iron stomach. Dh and I would eat it, but I wouldn't give it to the kids.

I would - it's cured meat so it's preserved already and it's been covered in the fridge - don't waste food.

unless it is green, shimmery and making a run for the door then use it.

it's salted meat, it's designed to be kept for ever!

Hi thanks for your replies. I have a fairly tough stomach so I might have a sniff see if it's fine :)

Yeah bacon keeps for ages

God yes. I’m quite laid back about using open bacon,salami etc.

Saturday? This Saturday just gone? Four days ago? In the fridge? Absolutely fine.

Bacon would last 4 weeks in the fridge never mind 4 days

What’s the date on it? Bacon is normally weeks. If it’s been in the fridge, in Tupperware then you’re fine.

I would and have used much older bacon than that without I'll effect.

I would without a second thought. In fact I did yesterday and it had been open about 6 days!

Bacon isn’t even sold until it’s 30 years old. True fact that.
Nah, joking, I’m a vegetarian so no experience of bacon but curing is an ancient way of preserving meat prior to refrigeration (or even ice houses etc) so doubt four days in a fridge will hurt.

I wouldn't freeze it today but I would definitely cook and eat it today!

Sniff it, if it's ok cook it. If it still smells ok, it's fine.
