How long does a bacon joint last?

in Old style MoneySaving
Cooked Monday, kept in fridge, will it poison us if we eat it tonight or is next door's dog going to be very lucky?

Thinking of reheating it with peppers, onions and a jar of commercial stir fry sauce.

DS is having fish finger and smash.

All suggestions much appreciated - having very dippy day!

    As bacon is preserved pork anyway it will be fine

    The idea of preserving is to keep food, obviously not forever, but as your cooked joint is only 3 days older at most it will be fine, enjoy

    If in doubt, smell / taste a bit first, but it really will not poison you
