how to know if the pork is fresh?

Question

tips how to get fresh pork or signs of freshness

Answer 1

When shopping for fresh pork, look for cuts that are well trimmed of fat and meat that is pinkish to gray-pink in color (An exception to this rule is pork tenderloin, which is deep red in color.) The fat should be creamy white, and any bones should be red and spongy at the ends. (The whiter the bone end, the older the animal was when it was slaughtered and the less tender the meat will be.) When choosing cured pork products, be sure to read the label for nutrition information as well as cooking and storage tips. Refrigerate fresh pork in the original wrapper and use within two to three days. Frozen pork chops and roasts will last four to six months. Cured pork products will last up to a week in the refrigerator once they are opened or cut. Frozen, fully cooked hams will keep one to two months.***

Answer 2

Look at it to see if there are any signs of discoloration. Feel of it, it sh ould not be slimy. Smell of it, it should not have any off odors. Don't keep raw pork refrigerated more than a day or 2 without cooking it. Keep cooked pork refrigerated and use in 1 week. I always freeze my meat when I get home from the store unless I am using it that day. In repackaging, I can survey the meat. I also marinate pork cubes to cook on a skewer.
