To cook or not to cook it? That is the question. Fresh Market, deli bacon, 2 weeks in the fridge, I am so nervous! There were some worms but just the tiny ones! Not true! I salted it real good to draw anything bad out hopefully. We shall see! Bacon dudnt smell bad and still lookef pink but it was a little slimy. Gave me diarrhea and heart burn. My daughter vomited. Slime is a prime sign of lactic acid bacteria such as Leuconostoc.
This usually can be contributed by poor sanitation of an employee or piece of equipment somewhere in the process. Although it will give you a bad night on the toilet and a tummy ache it is not life threatening. Best practice, if you open a package of bacon and see ropy or sticky slime formation or any packed processed meat product really return it to the store and ask for a refund, or at the very least report it to the manufacturer.
Problems need to be pointed out so processors can address them. I feel fine. If I get sick I will post later. On a lighter note,…How do you tell if your bacon has gone bad?
My bacon was a bit gray in color, but I ate it anyway. I am at work…. Well our house smells like animal urine all of a sudden and my hubby ate a piece of the rotten but cooked bacon. So looks like our day is going to get interesting. Yes I thought it was a little slimy when I put it in the frying pan.
And I been nauseated for a couple of hours. Just curious. Bacon has been in the fridge unopened for a couple of weeks and am debating. Same thing with me! Had it in the fridge unopened for 3 weeks but it looks pink and the fat is white…use-by date is October 18, !
I was going to use it the next day after I bought it but forgot about it and just now found it again! Did you eat yours? If so did anything happen? If you could please respond that would be great…thank you! As I was cooking my bacon this morning, something seemed off. The first red flag was that it pulled apart when I tried to take the meat out of the open package.
The second red flag was the greenish hue that faded into a dull grey across the whole piece of meat. After cooking the heck out of it just in case , I put it on a plate and noticed that the green hue survived the intense heat. Thank you, everyone, for your support and vulnerability.
