Query:

I purchased some sliced chicken teriyaki breast on November 18. I have just discovered it in the crisper drawer of my refrigerator. I took it out of its plastic sleeve and cannot tell by the smell if it's good or bad.

Relevant Factors:

It is a bit damper than normal fresh sliced bird meat. Not quite slimy.

I am going to smother it with spicy mustard (on rye).

It was evidently sold half price off.

Is it safe to eat? I am ravenous at this point in time.

If it was sold at 1/2 off it was probably "not a spring chicken" at the time of purchase. Feeling lucky, punk? :^)

If you're hesitant about it toss it. Why make yourself sick?

Thanks for the good words. As I said it didn't stink. I broiled it both sides and smothered it with spicy brown mustard. Added some potato chips 'cause they were vinegar flavored and I figured it might help. Tasted okay and then I went and donated blood, so the karma should balance out the . . . you know.

You must be a gambling man that views a glass as being half full, rather than half empty.
As a consolation the soy sauce constituent of teriyaki "possesses antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella flexneri, Vibrio cholera, Salmonella enteritidis, nonpathogenic Escherichia coli and pathogenic E. coli"

Still here, Iains. Must've covered all the bases! (Or was that acids??)

Perhaps you are a traveller, I am sure that wandering the globe gives a robust suite of stomach bacteria. No evidence to back it up other than the fact I have never encountered delibelly on my travels, or perhaps like you, just lucky!

Was the chicken vacuum packed? It would have more chance of being safe to eat if it was and the packet was unopened.

If we don't hear from you we'll know you are suffering the consequences of your decision.

Congrats on being a blood donor. I have donated blood over the decades but a lot more regularly in the last few years, mainly because I was working close to a blood donor centre. I just made my first plasma donation a few weeks ago so that is on my agenda every couple of weeks as well.

Not vacuum packed, and past its prime but just shy of being 'on the turn' I guess..
I am going to clean out the fridge but no more chancy eating for the near future.

I've been a regular donor since college days.I don't really do it for the karma. I don't know how karma works.

Well robomatic, if you are going to take chances with food, chicken is the very last on the list. Lots of bad stuff.

No, I don't do it for the karma. I just do it because I can and it helps people.

I'm not concerned with Karma either, I do it for the cookie (and sometimes OJ).

Helen: You put it very well. I can and it helps people. (Also the occasional T-Shirt).

Once I motorcycled into Boston to donate in the blood collection center at a hospital. The receptionist saw the helmet and leather jacket and remarked: "I ought to take you up to the paraplegic ward. Lots of bikers up there." She paused, and added."I will say this. They're a cheerful bunch!"

Something about that last line gave me the willies. But it didn't stop me from being a biker.

robomatic, it's 18 December here in Oz but still 17 December on Mudcat time. A good friend who was a biker but who also wrote very funny articles for a national motorcycle magazine and other magazines, passed away 10 years ago on 17 December. He had a really bad accident when he would have been in his 20's, I'm guessing, and although he recovered he had serious health issues for the rest of his life.

He was the funniest, cleverest person I've ever met and I think of him as the brother I never had. Your biker story is good timing for me.
