APPEARANCE (1 of 2)
Not only should all meat smell fresh, without trace of a stale or putrid aroma it should have a clean smooth appearance.
All meat should be free from stickiness, this occurs from bad or incorrect storage.
Some examples most commonly found are meat that has been stored on trays in its own blood juices, these detriorate quickly.
Meat will develop a poor colour and sticky surface together with an unpleasant odour.
Meat that might have been washed and placed back into storage will very quickly becomes smelly and sticky, in these cases a strong odour can be detected. This meat in my opinion should not be used but disgarded.
Meat should smell fresh and have a smooth appearance
Do not confuse meat which is hung or has matured by being hung correctly in a fridge with meat left to 'sweat' on a blood soaked tray in a wrapping.
