How long should meat last in a fridge

Noelie · 2006-11-23 14:20:27

As the title suggest how long should a lump of beef last in a fridge, it wasn't vacuum packed. I bought it on Monday and though it should last untill today but it hasn't.

yeah there was a smell and it had turned a brown colour, the flesh had also started to get soft, it was deffinatly gone off.
but i would have though it should have lasted that long.
It's in the bin now so it won't be getting cooked.

Nothing wrong with meat turning a little brown, just make sure its cooked through and you'll be fine.
