How to Tell if Meat Has Gone Bad

Meat that has gone spoiled will begin to lose its colour. Read meat will turn brown and develop a sour smell. If the meat is really bad, it will have a glossy golden coloured film on it. Pork will turn grayish first then greenish with a really sour smell. Chicken will become glossy. Smell the bone parts of chicken cuts first. If you are buying a whole bird, smell the inside of the body cavity.

Note that chicken tends to have higher bacteria content compared to meat, so be more careful about it. If you won’t use chicken today, it’s best not to buy it yet. Always wash your chicken in cold water. Sanitize your hands and any items that get in contact with chicken meat.

People often eat rare beef. You could end up with salmonella, an upset stomach, or diarrhea if the rare beef you ate came in contact with chicken. This is why butchers do not cut chicken meat on the same bench as pork or beef.

Bacteria count rises every hour on a cutting bench. This is why frequent sanitization of cutting areas is extremely important.
