Can I still eat ground beef after it's been in the fridge for 5 days?

Hey, culinary pals! So, here's the scenario: I've got some ground beef sitting in my fridge, and it's been there for about five days now. Is it still safe to whip up a meal with it, or should I play it safe and toss it? Any tips or insights would be super helpful!

Hey there! Generally, ground beef is safe to eat within 3-4 days in the fridge. Since yours has been there for 5 days, it's best to play it safe and toss it to avoid any risks
