Cryovac butt- safety question
Wolfpack
Posts: 3,553
Nothing definitive that google has found. Several discussions on bbq brethren sites.
Just found a hidden butt in the fridge that has been in there since mid August. So roughly 30 days.
I know for beef people will wet age and I would eat with no second thoughts. Does that hold true for pork as well?
cut it open and it passes the smell test so I think I am good?

I'm betting that it fails the smell test!Wetumpka, Alabama

Fresh cryo pork can have a funky sulfur smell so I’d be willing to bet the aged one will be more pronounced.I’d pitch it. Butts are cheap~ John - Formerly known as ColtsFan - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

I wouldn’t cook it but some people say...

If it wasn't for my BGE I'd have no use for my backyard...
