Is it still safe to cook it today?

[shinydiamonds]

Posting here hopefully for traffic. We have guests arriving today. Planned a toast.
We have a large vacuum packed turkey breast that was picked up on Thursday afternoon and a beef joint (not vacuum packed) that was collected at the same time.
Are they safe to cook today?

As long as they have been refrigerated I should think so. Do they have a use by date?

It's not the purchase date but the use by date that matters, that plus the condition of the contents.

Thanks for the reply. No use by date on them, I think they look and smell fine, but I'm convincing myself I'm wrong! I bought sausages from the butcher at the same time and they are 100% fine. No worries at all about using them..

In the absence of use by dates i would normally say you'll be able to tell by look and smell.

That said, the turkey we had (use by 26th) smelled really funny when i opened it on xmas morning, but i cooked it thoroughly and it has been absolutely fine for both christmas dinner and boxing day leftovers.

Thanks a million, they do look fine and I think they smell ok too🤷🏼‍♀️ I always doubt myself with meat
