Is this still good.

I can’t believe I lost this guy in the fridge. “freshness” date was November 25th. I get skeptical with meat. Was planning on throwing it in the crockpot. I’m ashamed

Now, in hindsight, vac seal and freeze those bargain buys right away.

Whats the different kind of deal that is used to produce "Aged Meats" that is different than the aging you were doing in your refrigerator? I would look at it and do the smell test as my number one decision makers. The outside will degrade and be detectable way before the inside can deteriorate.

The tray that you buy meat in that's wrapped in plastic like his is bad because it traps the moisture inside the package causing bacteria to multiply rapidly and speed up spoilage. Cryovaced meat has a slightly longer shelf life because most of the air has been removed. What you are referring to are umai bags. They are porous and allow moisture to escape while the meat ages. With that said you can't just leave a piece of meet in the fridge, forget about it, and call it dry aging

So I shouldn't eat that 4 year old hot dog I found in the back of the fridge?

For this particular instance my recommendation is the hot dog is safe!

It's a type of sausage so just scrape off the outside growth and clean it with vinegar.
