    Another "is it safe" post...

    I smoked a packer brisket about a month ago. While still hot, I vacuum sealed several slices, and they have been refrigerated (but not frozen) since then. Sure I wish I had frozen it, but I didn't. No color change, looks ok, but - would you eat it now? Anybody have any guidelines on this?

    I would probably not eat it. But you can certainly open it and give it the smell test.

      I would not eat it. It is not worth it.

      When in doubt, throw it out! -Meathead

              I would not have eaten myself after a month unless it had been frozen most of that time.

                Leftovers max a week in fridge even when vacuum sealed. Frozen 6 months easy.

                  The real question is before ya threw it out did ya open and give it a smell test? Please do not eat any meat after a week sitting in the fridge. It’s just not worth the hospital bill.

                    I've heard of wet aging and dry aging beef, but not leftover aging. I think you made the wise decision!

                      I often vac seal hot food. The bags are capable of dealing with the heat. I package the food so it's as flat as possible, and that way I can get it cooled down quick and in the freezer faster.

                      IMO, eating any food that's been a month in the fridge is an iffy proposition, unless we're talking about food that's preserved with sufficient alcohol, acid, sugar, or salt. I realize large cuts of meat in cryosealed packages are often wet aged for a month or more at fridge temps, but these are large chunks of meat packaged in an environment with higher standards of sanitation than the typical household kitchen. I think you made the right call to discard it.
