Stinking Pork

I bought a whoopsie pork joint in Tesco today and slapped it straight in the slow cooker but it is honking:eek:
Never had this problem before so am not sure if there is any comeback or do you take your chances buying meat that is going out of date - cost nearly £5.

If it smells bad i wouldn't risk eating it, but not sure about comeback on it, the sell by dates are usually on the safe side (The chicken we used for our pasta salad tomorrow was use by 16th, but the packet didn't smell so cooked it anyway.)

Take it back, what is the worst thing that happens, they say no.

I think you should get your money back though as it was still in date when you bought it.

Take it back. I have done this before and my Tesco always refunded me the money.

It's still cost you money, so it should be edible. I would take it back.

You don't take your chances, if a shop sells food for human consumption it must be fit for human consumption. If it's not, go and get your money back. If the CS is reluctant you give you a refund tell them you will be presenting the pork to the relevant authorities to get a second opinion on whether it is fit for human consumption.
