I can't believe people still eat ground beef.

No I wouldn't eat it either--prob the juices from the meat are what were smelly but why risk it.

Sometimes its hard to trust stores. They use ways to make meat look fresher than it is. One time, I was at a store looking at fish, and it all smelled of ammonia. I didn't buy any. How could they even think to sell that.

The smell of blood from the slaughter house.

my experience = the nose knows=listen to it

All I know is that if it smelled funny, I wouldn't eat it.  I assume 3/19 was the "sell by" date.  It's 3/17 so you are awfully close and we know stores have nasty habit of playing fast and loose with meats and "sell by dates".

Return that packaged ground beef to the market.  There should be no questions asked.

I only eat grass fed, hormone free beef.

Same for any meat or poultry.  Only organic, and hormone free.   Turkey, chicken , pork,  lamb.   I grind them myself.

Seafood only if wild caught.  Never from Asia.

You only have one body.  Why take a chance and risk eating bad or inferior quality food?

Good luck.

A butcher once told me that the meat that is in that heavy cryovac package (like ribs and such) may smell off for a few minutes when you open it, but that will go away quickly because it is the smell of gases in the packaging process.

I only eat ground beef that is ground locally in a market or butcher shop, or that we grind from roasts and steaks in the kitchen aid grinder, the food processor (for a quick small batch).  It tastes just as good as the best cuts of beef--and it should!  

I would worry about that stuff ground in those huge plants.

Men sense of smell sometimes is way off. My husband would sometimes get his food brought to him in the restaurant and tell me it smelled fine when it was horrible. Now after all these years If I tell him that he will send it back. I think he got sick and didn't tell me way back then.But If you think it's not right take it bcak to the store don't chance sicken youselfs.That just smart.
