Thawed pulled pork safety

[dj mishima]

I thawed some frozen cochinita pibil (basically pulled pork) a couple of weeks ago in the refrigerator. It's still sealed in a food saver bag. I haven't gotten around to using it yet. But I am now concerned that it might not be safe to eat. What do y'all think?

I have a 5 day rule for leftovers in the fridge. Vac seal will extend you a little but 2 weeks would be pushing it big time for me

If it hasn't been eaten in 5 to 7 days including the day it was cooked, it gets tossed. Like Jake, even vac sealed, 2 weeks would be pushing it for me.

I hate to waste food. But not as much as food poisoning.

Thanks !

Yeah , I don't use it much anymore , but had it on my desk top when I first started some of this . Comes in handy .
I try to get my Son to get on board with the dating . He's a dairy manager in a local grocery .
I catch him all the time " shrinking out " my pantry . Drives me nuts .
" This is past date " I always say " So am I " .
