Is it safe or not ... Beef Ribs

I've had beef ribs in a cryo pac in the fridge for 6 weeks.  If it was a brisket I would cook it.

Are ribs safe?

    I'd take them out, rinse them, and let sit for an hour. If they're funky pitch em.

    Don't worry he won't eat my food.  It will just depress him seeing how much he has to improve.

    There were several packs at publix tonight for ~5.00.  For 5.00 difference I'm pitching them.

    Cryo pac had no bubbles, color was good.  My outdoor fridge is 34 deg.  Gonna take one for the team and see what happens.

    Seasoned with salt, pepper, and habenero death dust.

    Pork and chicken I will only go 3-4 days.  Beef doesn't worry me very much.

    If it makes you feel better, you can't identify pathogens by looking at food.  Or by smell.  If you could, no one would get food poisoning.

    OK, that probably doesn't make you feel better.  Anyways, properly handled beef stored at 34 degrees wouldn't bother me.

    I'm in on morbid curiosity with no opinion. 

    I am always the first to panic and throw food away. I say experiment. Do it for the man I want to be.

    Yeah, doesn't make me feel better ;)  I have seen ground beef go bad.  Actually, felt it.  It went all grey and felt slimy.  I pitched that.

    Is this Ozzie's last post? How many did he consume? Did he pass with a smile on his face? Was his boots still on? 

    So many questions.

    I had beef ribs in the cryo for around that much time.  I trimmed off a lil ugly pieces and served em to guests with no concerns.  They were money!
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
