smell it that normally gives you a good idea if it smells nasty bin it!.i used to make the mince at a butchers shop years ago and they do use the old meat for it thats why it doesn't retain its pinky red colour for too long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It always does that!! When the air gets to it it turns sort of grayish color!. It is perfectly fine and will turn back pink when heated then will cook to grayish color!.
I buy in bulk a lot of times!. Divide into lots according to the recipes you will be using!. If you wish to keep it longer than the fresh date!. seal in plastic zip lock type bag or box and freeze!. Defrost as needed for using!. This can save a lot of money and a huge amount of time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It should be!. If it smells "off" though, throw it out!. If you dig to the middle if it, the meat should be pink!.
