How long will a packaged corned beef stay good in the Refrig.??

Question

I bought a corned beef a couple of weeks ago, and never got around to cooking it. I checked for a "Best if used by" date on the package to no avail. It still looks the same as the day of purchase so I'm wondering if I can still use it??

Answer 1

Corn beef precooked IF it is in a vacuum bag and is unopened and has been under refrigeration the hole time will last 30 days + but it must meet the info above. Uncooked there should be a brand name on it if so there should be a 1-800-# you could call to check with them but 2 weeks & its ( unopended vacuum bag ) you should be fine. If it was prepared by a deli or butcher and raped by hand 2 weeks is to long throw it out.

Answer 2

Vacuum-packed raw Corned Beef in its packaging lasts in the fridge for up to 7 days after the sell-by date (or until expiration date, if provided). You can freeze it in its packaging for up to 1 month.

Look for a company phone number/address to verify sell-by date or expiration date or ask the meat department in the store you purchased it from.

Answer 3

Any meat that starts to turn any color than being red is BAD. If it's past one week of its due date, and still hasn't turned a different color (on any part) I still wouldn't use it.

3 days past the due date is my MAX unless there is a color change, and then it's outta here!

Answer 4

corned beef in a vacumed sealed pack should last weeks as its in brine ( corned )....boil it ( simmer it ) and freeze it if you want to use it , but not eat it right away

Answer 5

my husband would say yes but I tend to trash anything left in the fridge over a week just paranoia probably

Answer 6

well open package if it smells ok then yes
