Why You Should Avoid Buying Ground Beef Packages With Too Much Juice - Tasting Table

To ensure safe handling of ground beef, buy packages with minimal juices to prevent cross-contamination, and always strive to cook meat to 160°F.

Browning raw ground beef can indicate spoilage, so it's important to select cuts that are bright in color and store the meat properly.

While sell-by dates provide information about freshness, they do not replace the need to inspect meat visually and handle it properly after purchase.

Once at home, ground beef should be refrigerated immediately and used or frozen within two days to avoid any risk of spoilage.
