You mean a raw one? Doesn't it have dates on it? Should have a "packaged on"
and "sell by" date. The most important part is when it was packaged. There
was a big to do at one store here and big roasts that they had for
Christmas. Apparently some were kept at room temp. too long and by the time
people went to cook them, they were spoiled. The store exchanged them either
for a higher quality piece of meat or a larger piece.
