How long will raw hamburger keep in the refrigerator?!


Question: I bought it on Sunday, meaning to make pasta sauce. It has been thawed and in the fridge since then. It is now Thursday. Will it still be okay?
(The tag says to sell by December 18th. I hate to waste it by throwing it away if I don't have to. This has been a crazy, busy week!)

Raw hamburger in a refridgerator at 40 degrees F of below should last 2 to 3 days 4 at the max, use your nose, if it doesn't smell right throw it out

um...I wouldn't eat it normally it only lasts a couple days?

you can tell by the smell of the meat. if it has an odor, it's no good. if it's a little brown but smells okay it should be fine to use to brown for sauce.

2 days at the most. After that, prepare to be sick.

i should be alright, but look it over and smell it first.

brown it in a pan and see if it still smells fine.

i usually freeze everything until the day before i need to use it.

good luck and happy holidays!

You should have put it in the freezer when you realized you weren't going to be able to cook it. It's Christmas time and people are starving. Good job, waster.
