How can I determine if my short ribs have spoiled?
I purchased some short ribs from a local butcher, and after unwrapping them at home, I noticed they have some dark brownish-grey spots and a doughy, yeast-like odor. Should I consider them spoiled?

It sounds like your short ribs may have gone bad. Fresh short ribs should have a vibrant red color, and while some discoloration can occur during storage, dark brown or grey spots are often signs of spoilage. Additionally, a doughy or yeast-like smell is not normal for meat and suggests that bacteria may have begun to grow.
If you’re unsure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. It’s recommended not to consume meat that looks or smells off. For your safety, it’s best to discard the short ribs and consider discussing the issue with your butcher for potential resolution.
