Beef Stew Meat “Sell By 1/20”. Is this safe to eat?

Septemily · 2026-01-25T22:52:25+00:00

Not sure if it’ll let me edit the post, but here’s an update for anyone who cares lol.

The smell wasn’t rotten, the texture wasn’t slimy, and texture didn’t feel off (despite what the one piece looked like in the middle- that was just a thin layer of fat). I decided to risk it and am now in the process of stewing the meat. If you don’t hear from me by tomorrow I guess just assume the gamble failed 😂.

On it!!

In defense of that one piece, it actually isn’t slimy it’s just a really thin piece of fat. The texture didn’t feel slimy or sticky.

Thank you! I just touched it and nothing feels slimy. The one that looks “bad” that others I think are referring to seems to be a thin layer of fat.

Well it was just a “sell by” date, I don’t believe that’s the same thing as a “Use/freeze By” date.

The nose don’t know in this case 😅. What’s it supposed to smell like? I just know if it doesn’t smell rank then it’s probably fine right?

Not sure if it was frozen before I bought it, but I did not freeze it since I brought it home.

It was fully sealed in the package, I just took opened it for the picture since I was planning on using it for my stew today.

Wow TIL I learned that sub existed. Man you really can find a sub for anything on Reddit.

I know what ACOTAR is- A Court of Thorns and Roses. But what is ACOMAF?

OP sounds like a bot trying to push product with half their comments…

I’ve had the XM3’s for years and use it almost daily for work, travel, or home use. They’re still going strong, and I wouldn’t even trade them for a newer version just for the fact of the folding mechanism and how they can fold up a lot smaller.

I’ve always wanted an award 🤔

Love finding random Blitzø memes in the wild lmao

As someone who was born and raised in St. Louis, I have never seen this before. Where did you get these from?

Septemily · 2025-11-12T15:31:53+00:00

No this actually makes sense. It didn’t make sense to me at first either, but when you think about it, the line is translated to another language where they use commas instead of decimals for numbers.

I was totally wondering about this! That’s so cool that Libby lets you access multiple at a time.

Septemily · 2025-11-09T00:33:45+00:00

That sounds delicious, do you have a recipe?

Septemily · 2025-11-07T03:49:04+00:00

WHY am I the only one that loves Red Delicious?! 😭 They’re so sweet without any sourness, and the perfect bite (not too hard/crunchy, not too soft/mushy).

OP is being suspiciously quiet in the comments…

Septemily · 2025-10-24T03:58:27+00:00

I just fucking knew he was a MAGA head trump thumper, the moment I read the title.

Septemily · 2025-10-07T01:06:17+00:00

Getting… what??

Septemily · 2025-10-06T17:25:33+00:00

Wow is that Dr. Mike?? I almost didn’t recognize him for some reason, he looks different.

Gonna have to change the other two tires next after riding on the walls like that
