Answer 1

as long as it's not brown or smelly.

Answer 2

yep, it should still be good.  Isn't there a date on the package?

Smell it. You'll definitely know by the smell. It shouldn't really have a smell to it if it's good, if it's bad it will have a funky smell.

Answer 4

Yes it is. But because it has been in there for awhile make sure you

cook it well done now because there is more bacteria in it then

when first opened where you had the choices to cook it medium etc.
