How can you tell when soy/veggie lunch meat is old?!


Question: How can you tell when soy/veggie lunch meat is old!?
Back when I was a meat-eater, it was easy to tell when lunch meat was old: it just becomes smelly and grows mold (eugh)!.

Now I'm finding it hard to determine whether these soy/veggie lunch meats are rotten b/c they rarely turn colors and the smell when it is a week old is pretty close to the smell from when I first purchased it!.

The brands I buy are Yves, and Smart Deli!. Any tips!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I understand how it is sometimes more difficult with soy product!.

However the rule of thumb is usually the same as it is for regular lunch meat!. After one week, it is suggested that you toss lunch meat, and soy/veggie lunch meat like products!.

Hope that helps!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Doesn't it have a use-by date!? Simply don't use it after it has expired, no matter what it looks and smells like!. Usually these things should be eaten in two/three days once they are opened (and in the fridge of course)Www@FoodAQ@Com

keep a pack for a week and then look at a difference in smell, texture, how it looks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A thick pus like liquid will form!. It will be either clear or white!. You'll know, trust me!. It looks gross!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It will turn green or get moldy!. I once forgot a bag in the car and it turned green fuzz!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When the bread is moldy and you should try other brandsWww@FoodAQ@Com

How can you call it soy/veggie lunch meat!? Doesn't meat imply, well meat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
