My Corned Beef Smells Like S***
| grate Posts: 774 Jul 29, 2014 3:53:16 GMT | Post by grate on Mar 21, 2019 15:36:33 GMTIt says it is good until May 14 and is pink but there is a bad smell. Some sites say toss some say it is ok and normal. I am a vegetarian and not use to handling meat often so I am clueless. Anybody have any experience with corned beef in a prepackaged airtight bag. Everything is in the cock pot waiting the beef |

Post by LavenderLayoutLady on Mar 21, 2019 15:59:24 GMT If something had a bad smell, I'd throw it away. There is no way I'd consider eating it. Ditto. I'd rather go hungry than deal with food poisoning. | |

Post by seasidemermaid on Mar 21, 2019 16:13:54 GMTWhat does this "bad" smell smell like? Is it a rancid smell or vinegar smell? Is there someone else you can have do a sniff test before tossing? | |

The was a rush of smell when I cut open the package and now it smells only up close but I keep gagging which may be psychosomatic at this point!! I am going to toss it. We were not able to do our St. Paddy's day dinner on the 17th but I will just do the veggies and soda bread! |

Is there someone else you can have do a sniff test before tossing? Agree. Is there another cook or carnivore in the house that can do a double check? Just want to make sure it's actually a bad smell versus one that you might not be accustomed to. |
