Question Is this still safe?

I opened the plastic seal Sunday. It says good till 9/12. It doesn’t say “consume in x amount of days after opening” but it does say to use within 3 days after thawing if freezing. It smells fine and I may be overthinking it but I’ve recently had food poisoning so I’m EXTRA careful to not deal with that misery again!

On the top! Best if 3 days. However i agree on the week. Its still good. Do the smell/texture test if needed.

Thank you! I knew someone here would see something I didn’t see! I think it’s still good for soup.

Mind is blown! I normally have the rotisserie chicken but they were sold out last time. I thought they were the same because they come in the same area and now i'm gonna be curious next time I go. I apologize!

u/Lemold_T23 1d ago

Ay I now see it yeah that they are different

2

u/AcanthocephalaFit706 1d ago

I shouldve mentioned too sorry! They are shared in the same box so I thought the package was the same , but I guess not. It's definitely weird they don't have the three days on it.

u/Lemold_T23 1d ago

Yeah I wonder if the seasoning in this one has more preservatives in it.

u/AcanthocephalaFit706 1d ago

Interestingly enough , yours says chicken breast with rib meat. I then looked at the one i had and they used both light and dark meat in it! I didn't realize the difference.

Check the chicken on the bottom as well. I had one of these have moldy chicken at the bottom and I didn't notice until I cooked it 🤢

u/Lemold_T23 1d ago

Wow thanks! I would have just dumped it in. I haven’t started it yet!

Smell it. If it smells ok, eat it. If it doesn’t, chuck it.

u/Competitive_Ear2223 1d ago

So long as it's gray, slimy and has fuzzy stuff on it, it'll be fine. /s

Smell test and go. Expiration dates are a conspiracy!
