Freezer Burnt Chuck Roast Inquiry

I’ve got a chuck roast that has been wrapped in butcher paper and frozen for approximately 4 years. Is it still safe to eat?

    Freezer burn affects the quality of meat, causing it to have a dry texture and potentially off-flavors. While the chuck roast may still be safe to eat if it has been kept frozen at a consistent temperature, the quality may not be ideal after 4 years. If the roast shows significant freezer burn (white, dry patches), you can still cook it, but you might want to trim away the affected areas before preparing it. Always check for any off smells or discoloration when you thaw it. If you’re unsure, it’s better to err on the side of caution and discard it.
