How long does formerly frozen and now thawed meat stay good in the fridge?
I bought some really nice, well-sealed ground beef that was frozen. When I got home, I put it in the fridge to defrost and promptly forgot about it. I think it's been about a week and a bit, and I just rediscovered the package. Is it still safe to cook and eat? The package is vacuum sealed -- no air has gotten in. Thanks!

open and smell. if you've left it in the fridge all this time and thawed it in the fridge, it may be okay. Your nose will tell you.
