Can food get bad before the expiration date?!


Question: Can food get bad before the expiration date!?
cuz there's this luncheon meat and i'm not sure if i didn't feel well because of it!. it doesn't expire until november tho!. i smelled it and i dno if it's bad or it's just the smell of the meat!. i don't have a really good sense of smell!. Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The November expiration date is if the packaging has not been opened!.

Once lunchmeat has been opened, it should be consumed within a week!. If it's curly, discolored or has an odd smell, throw it away!.

Yeah it happens if its not stored correctly (either by you or by the place you bought it from) or the seal was broken and it started to go off before you even opened it!.
If it smells don't risk it, sometimes with meat when it starts to go funky the plastic wrap sort of bubbles up - I don't know why but when that happens its not a good signWww@FoodAQ@Com

if its not stored correctly or if the fridge temperature is not right, then the meat must be bad!. to be on the safe side, chug the meat and buy a fresh one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah, it happens!. If you think that it's not ok, throw itWww@FoodAQ@Com

"If in doubt, throw it out!." Your health (or life) isn't worth the few dollars you'll save!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
