Making jalapeno cheddar venison sausage.

[sankie13]

Got a question regarding food safety with some sausage I'm making. I ground and mixed in all my seasons on Saturday. I had plans to stuff the sausage the next day but my casings got delayed, they came in today and I am going to stuff them and planned to smoke tomorrow. Is 4 days in the fridge still safe to use. It does have a cure mixed in if that changes anything. My gut tells me it's fine but just to cover my bases, what do y'all think.

You should be ok. No Safety issue but spoilage bacteria, may have effected Quality and Flavor. Fry a Test Patty to verify you are good. FREEZE any you don't cook asap. Down the road, Thaw in the refer and cook that day. Time matters on both ends!...JJ
