How to distinguish fresh meat from spoiled: useful life hacks
SSPDaily shares three life hacks for determining the freshness of meat. Find out what effective methods can be used to identify a spoiled product.
Take a sniff
The sense of smell can play an important role in identifying spoiled meat. Fresh meat should have a neutral odor, while rotten meat will emit a pungent and unpleasant odor, and sometimes may not even have any odor at all. Trusting your sense of smell guarantees safe consumption.
Color
Another approach to assessing quality is the color of the product. Fresh meat has a red color, while spoiled meat will look green or brown.
Texture
Another useful life hack for identifying spoiled meat is to assess the texture. Spoiled meat will have a slippery or sticky texture and may look dull, while fresh meat should be firm to the touch, with a smooth and moist surface.
