<strong>Is discolored meat always bad?</strong>

Not necessarily. Meat can sometimes change color due to oxidation or exposure to light. However, if it's coupled with a bad smell or slimy texture, it's likely spoiled and should not be consumed.

<strong>How long does cooked meat stay fresh in the fridge?</strong>

Cooked meat generally stays good for about 3 to 4 days when refrigerated at 40°F or lower. If you won't be eating it within that time frame, it's best to freeze it for longer storage.
