As if I have too ask:

I have a garage fridge where I put stuff I don't need all that often. I was cleaning it out and found that I had forgot about having 3 pounds of pork belly that I was going to cure into bacon. Don't know how I spaced having that, but it was in the bottom of the fridge in vacuum sealed. Bought it in early February. I'm thinking I should probably throw it out. It hasn't been opened or frozen since purchase.

As long as I'm asking, how long is it safe to "wet age" a brisket if the brisket remains vacuum sealed and in a fridge that is around 36 degrees?
 
That is a tough question, there is nothing quite like food poisoning from bad meat.

I guess I would pop open the cryo and sniff.

In terms of brisket, you can go quite a while in a well sealed cryo at that temperature.
 
Yeah food poison is no fun. I been there before. I think of it this way:

Flu x 100 = A REALLY bad time.

I would toss it. Sorry to hear about that loss. :sad:
 
Some lessons In life are pricy and some are learned in the out house. Are you a Betting man flip a coin. Brisket can go 45 days from the Kill date marked on the packing case.
 
I'll be the dissenter and say that I wold probably cook it up unless it smelled bad. That being said, I have been accused of being impervious to the normal effects of rancid food. :-D
