Can you eat ground beef past the date?

Answer 1

Yes. The date on fresh meat is there for a" best if used by" date. You can eat it without fear after the date. No longer than 5 to 7 days if kept in the refrigerator. Up to 3 months if frozen.

Answer 2

Yes. The date that is stamped on products is there to inform consumers that the product is BEST if used by that date. This does not mean that the product will be bad after that date.

Answer 4

Was it frozen ? How does it look? How does it smell? How long after the date? Two or 3 days I would see no problem. If it looks good, smells good I would use it.

Answer 5

Ground beef should be cooked thoroughly when fresh and consumed within a couple of days. You "can" eat it but it is not highly recomended.

Answer 6

3-4 days at most after the sell by date.
