raw meat doesn't smell nice, but it should only smell of blood really, any other odour, especially a sour or fishy one, + I would say it probably is offWww@FoodAQ@Com
If in doubt chuck it out but by awful smell must be off, minced meat usually just smells of blood!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Was it frozen the day you bought it!. If not, and it feels sticky - its off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If the smell is not good then it is off!. Don't cook and eat otherwise you could become sickWww@FoodAQ@Com
