Answers:
Absolutely not! ANY time you question whether meat is good, always err on the side of safety!. If in doubt!.!.!. throw it out!! Once you purchase the meat, it should be used within a few days!. 5 days is too long!! Toss it!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

When you buy meat that will expire soon the best thing to do is either use it that day or freeze it until you are ready to cook!. If it has been in the fridge for 5days Before using it please take the smell test if it smells rotten or funny throw it out dont use it!. But if its fine use it right away!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

it is normally good for a day or two, but no more than that!. if you see that it is coming past the date or on the date and don't need it, just freeze it!. beef keeps about 6 months in the freezer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my name is amanda too! do not eat it because you could die and the world needs more amandas!. you could try feeding it to one of those dang pixies who eat all the tomatoes in my garden!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Better safe than sorry!. I would say No, but you can look at the meat and tell by color and smell!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
