Tell me if I can eat this

[sundev]

I just found some bacon in the fridge.. the expiry date is November 05. The thing is.. the package hasn't been opened, and it's one of those vacuum sealed ones.

Can I still cook the bacon and eat it without getting sick?

 

[notfred]

Yeah, sure, why not.

Go for it man! (I wouldn't touch it myself, but I'm curious!)

bacon has so many nitrates, it can't go bad


just cook it really good and you'll be fine

Ditto.

Answers here. I thought more than 2 weeks would pass between the "how long does bacon last" threads. I guess I was wrong.

It seems to stay fresh in my feezer for many months. It seems to turn colors in my fridge after ~1 month (but it is still quite good and edible). Remember, most good meats at great restaurants are aged ~3 weeks until they have turned that nasty looking grey color.
