How long can raw meat stay in the fridge?!


Question:

How long can raw meat stay in the fridge?

I'm planning to make a meatloaf tomorrow night. Would it be okay to just leave the raw ground beef in the fridge for about 24 hours, from the time I buy it this afternoon till the time I start cooking tomorrow evening?


Answers:
Perfectly fine. Don't go longer than two days.

Yep that'll be ok just don't leave it in there for more than 2 days.

you COULD....just be sure to use it tomorrow and don't forget...

Sure you won't have a problem. Enjoy I love meatloaf.

24 hours is fine. I've left ground beef in the fridge for about 2 or 3 days and it was still good.

I will be fine.It will keep for at least 2 days.

yes it will fine but dont leave raw meat in the fridge more than 48 hours.

24 hours is fine, I wouldn't go any longer then 2 or 3 days, when it starts to get that brown film on the top. Throw it out! also, if you're worried about it, you can freeze it and when you're ready to cook take it out 1 to 2 hours before you are going to start cooking and run it under COLD water, just a drizzle.

It will be fine. It is good a few days, but after that it needs to be cooked.
