I bought ham from the deli on Wednesday and today I went to make my lunch and there was slime on it. The

Question

ham doesn't smell or anything. Should I throw the ham out.

Answer 1

they say eat after opening within 7 days so yes I'd throw it out to be safe...

Answer 2

When I suspect any type of deli meat may be "bad", I toss. Slime or no slime--if you are not comfortable about eating the ham, throw it away.  

Answer 3

I agree, texture is everything lol  But with the cost of food, I'd eat it.  If it smells clean (Seriously, a clean, fresh ham smell) it's fine.  If it smells abnormally strong or at all sour or unlike fresh ham, don't eat it.  

Whenever you buy already sliced deli meat and keep it in a plastic baggy, it can turn slimy.  It's not bad, just a texture issue.  It always happens with sliced ham and turkey.

Answer 4

Wednesday was 6 days ago. Yes, I would throw it out. You should really use that stuff within 3 days.

Answer 5

Well I know some ham have slime on it but to be honest...I'd be grossed out. Im a texture person so if you dont feel comfy eating it then throw it out. I know you'll be throwing food away but you have to be sure your comfy eating your foods or it wont go down right.
