Bought a fresh turkey breast on 12/23. “Sell by” date is 12/25. Won’t have time to cook it until 12/30, so I just now put it in the freezer. Should I eat it? -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | ||

If it smells fine when you open it, and you cook it properly, it will be fine. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

I certainly would. Good news - you can take it back out of the freezer in the morning for it to have time to thaw. I'm assuming you thawed the first time in fridge as well. If you just plopped it on the counter for a day my answer changes! You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Agreed on this. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Of course. "Sell by" dates are just that-if the item isn't sold, the retailer donates it to charity. If the charity folks can eat it...... | |||

I've always been under the impression that something is generally edible up to seven days past the "sell by" date. https://www.eatbydate.com/sell-by-date-definition/ You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

I wouldn’t ask for most things, but everything I’m reading about fresh turkey says 2 days in the fridge. Maybe 3. Maybe 10 at the most, depending on preparation and pre-purchase conditions. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

In my experience,this doesn't apply to raw meat kept in the fridge. We stopped freezing meat a couple years ago and just make 2 trips a week to the grocer for fresh food. We've had a few instances of raw meat not even Making it too the sell by date before spoiling. I find dry brining the meat can help it hold out for a couple extra days. | |||

Why not! Just call local authorities first to come in about 4 hrs after you dig in for a welfare check. You never know. | |||

Are you sick??? I only feed my dog, dog food. But I certainly wouldn't feed him something I wasn't sure was safe to eat myself. | |||

My wife is a food safety expert. She says it should be good refrigerated for about a week. It will smell if it's bad. If it's spoiled, toss it. If it doesn't smell, you'll be good if it's cooked to internal temp over 165. | |||
