I would eat eat but not serve it to friends.
Kinda odd but that way way if someone got sick (unlikely) then it would just be me and the family.
of course if someone in the family has a weak immune system then I would pass on serving it to them. -
"sell by" isn't the same as "use by"
you are fine, assuming it was kept in the peoper temps (sub 40)ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
Sell by date if placed on the product by the manufacture are supposed to give you 7 days past and still be safe. If this is a smoked ham no problem at all. Even if a little slick but no smell rinse it off. If fresh ham you will know when you open it if it is bad.
