Defrost it thoroughly and then smell it!.Meat that has been wrapped for any length of time will probably smell funny anyway!.Golden rule is -
Rather be safe than end up being horribly sick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

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
