Got a packet of unopened bacon, it's 'use by' 17th April, but it's got slightly 'grey' around the edges. Most of it is still pink. Show Is it safe to eat? It will be cooked thoroughly anyway. Is it just oxidisation? I've seen bacon on sale in supermarkets, that's looked worse. It's not 'slimy' or anything. Eat or throw away? Hurry up 'cos I'm hungry and need to cook something soon. I reckon eat, no? I don't like to throw food away unnecessarily. Posted 12 years ago Why frigging risk your health??!! Take it back. Just because the date is fine…I've never seen discoloured bacon. Give the shop a call I'm sure they will sort you out if you have the receipt at least. Posted 12 years ago follow your nose, if it smells bad it is Posted 12 years ago Eat it. 🙂 Posted 12 years ago If you like to spend time on the loo reading the paper. Or throw up at work… Posted 12 years ago I've had plenty of bacon look like that, give it the smell test first though. Posted 12 years ago It don't smell 'bad', it just smells like raw meat. i'm not one of these paranoid types that throws stuff away 1 second after it's sell by date. I scrape mould off cheese. I'm just surprised it's gone a bit grey. I've eaten beef that's gone brown loads of times without any problem. Same sort of thing, or is pork different? Any sensible advice? Posted 12 years ago pork is grey, not pink. pink is artificial colouring. Posted 12 years ago who the hell reads the in date label the morning after a serious night out, be fine, some mouldy bred dont hurt if you toast it too! check your eggs float or is it sink hmm Posted 12 years ago If its off the smell will make it pretty clear.. Its more than likely its just the meat ageing. Posted 12 years ago nothing wrong with it – in all honesty will probably taste better for hanging around for a few days. Posted 12 years ago As others have said just go by smell. It's not like you are eating it raw is it? Posted 12 years ago it'll
be fine Posted 12 years ago Well it's not mould, as it's affected the tissue of the meat, not just the surface, and as I've said, I've seen much worse on sale. Ton; artificial colouring you say? 😯 Posted 12 years ago So have you eaten it then? Posted 12 years ago Is it organic? If yes, British? If yes, it will be OK. Is it from Holland/Denmark? If it is, bin it! HTH Auntie CG Posted 12 years ago Metalic shine isnt a good thing. Seen butchers bacon discoloured but never pre-packed. If indoubt take it back or better give it to a freegan – they're the iron gut bin scroungers arent they? Atleast it wont go to waste. Even better singletrack bacon challenge – anyone close enough to eat it? Who is forum glutton / cast iron gutlord, any takers or nominations? Posted 12 years ago bring it round here and I'll eat it, I've got some eggs Posted 12 years ago Bollocks to it, it's getting cooked! If yes, British? If yes, it will be OK. Is it from Holland/Denmark? If it is, bin it! You do know this is completely and utterly irrelevant, don't you? As EU food standards are very high, and the 'organic' tosh is purely marketing bullshit. If I'm ill, you lot will be the first to know about it, trust me. 😈 Posted 12 years ago Crumbs 24 minutes it's taken you to decide to COOK it then eat it you can't have been that hungry 😉 Posted 12 years ago It's just a little grey it's still good, it's still good Posted 12 years ago It's nearly done! Cooked it up with some garlic, mushrooms and tinned tomatoes, served with pasta. Mmm… Googling reveals (apart form some hysterical paranoid Americans) that it's to do with lactic acid reacting or something. And considering bacon is very high in salt anyway, I'd imagine an unopened pack that's well in date to be probably ok. He says, trying to convince himself… 🙄 Posted 12 years ago Mm, tastes ok… Posted 12 years ago Well you learn something new each day. I guess if it looked different to what it was when you bought it I'd bin it. Posted 12 years ago I'll take the register in the morning 😉 Posted 12 years ago It's ok, I'm having beer with it, which will cancel out any badness. Posted 12 years ago Is the Beer Green? Posted 12 years ago Is it cloudy? Posted 12 years ago You haven't replied to my e-mail. 😉 Posted 12 years ago I buy all the 'old'stuff in Waitrose and I haven't died yet, can't get my head round 'scraping mould off cheese'…..cheese is mould! Posted 12 years ago Ask yourself – would a restaurant cook and serve it? Of course they would. Get on with it! Posted 12 years ago Right. Lets get down to the important issues: Was it on stodgy
crap white bread? Answer no to any of the above and you're clearly a mincer 😀 Posted 12 years ago sell by dates are a swizz, ignore them and use you nose, if it smells off in the bin, if not crack on. Probably just oxidised a bit, think of it as matured bacon,like a good steak!! Posted 12 years ago jebus
your are worrying about discoloured bacon…chuckle…you should check out what i rummage up from my student fridge. Posted 12 years ago matthewjb's post reminded me i was working on a building site before xmas when i saw a Russian labourer eating an onion like an apple, THEN open a pack of bacon with his stanley knife and proceed to eat raw bacon and onion. Brilliiant! Posted 12 years ago
No, Binners. You, Sir, are naught but a vulgar oaf. Students! Oh Lord, the stuff I used to see in mates' fridges! 😯 One lad cooked some proper rank, and I mean really nasty looking mince in Vodka, as he said it would 'sterilise the meat'. Strangely, he suffered no ill effects. Mind you, this was a lad who, after ingesting an a mount of Ketamine that had others on the floor, went shopping in Sainsburys and actually came back with a sensible week's worth. 😯 Posted 12 years ago Well that was very nice, I have to say. Simple, yet delicious. That Ms Dahl will be beating a path to my door, for sure. Posted 12 years ago
I think the word you're searching for is 'northern' 😀 I wasn't going to pass comment initially, but…. you looked at a sell by date? Girlchild! Posted 12 years ago and I mean really nasty looking mince in Vodka, Northerner Posted 12 years ago On the subject of 'safe to eat' how long do people leave food in a pot for without covering or chilling? Posted 12 years ago Is discolored bacon safe to eat?The bacon is safe to eat if it still has its natural pink colour with the fat being white or yellow. If the bacon has turned brown or grey with a tinge of green or blue, then it has gone off.
Is grey bacon still good?Signs of spoilage
When spoiled, the signature red hue of your bacon may start to become dull and fade into a grey, brown, or greenish color. Spoiled bacon may also be slimy or sticky rather than soft and moist. Bacon that has a sour smell or rotting odor should also be thrown out, as this is another sign of spoilage.
Can you tell if bacon is bad after cooking?Take a Whiff of the Bacon Smell
Just like with any food, you should always take a sniff of your bacon before cooking or eating it. If it has a sour smell or an off-putting ammonia odor, it is spoiled.
Why is my bacon grey when cooked?When it hasn't been treated with sodium nitrates, red meat, depending on the animal it comes from, tends to turn white or gray when cooked. This is true for pork as much as it is true for beef, lamb, and veal. Unless it has been cooked at a high enough temperature to promote browning on the surface.
