		discoloration (dark spots, color isn't uniform,  meat isn't cherry red/purplish)

			
		cracks in the middle, meat looks like it's breaking apart (signs of different cuts being glued together)

			
		sell by  date is within the next 30 hours

			
		slimy to touch

			
		broken packaging (tray is crushed, torn plastic, dirty as if it was dropped)

			
		warm to touch

			
		distinct odor

There's much meat that isn't sold frozen, it's still in a cooled space.
If it wasn't at a food safe temp, they legally wouldn't be doing it.

Frozen foods are absolutely kept in freezers, at least 90% of the time fully closed.

Refrigerated food should still be in fridges with doors. I doubt that the meat is actually kept at same temps in the summer or when it's overpacked :)

If you have doubts, call the health department.
They legally can't keep them outside safe temps, hence why the vast majority of stores don't.
You think they would keep getting customers if everyone kept getting e.coli or salmonella?
Do you think the health department wouldn't shut them down?

Stop going to that store?

Get better at buying meat?
If you're confident that the store is at fault why are you complaining to us nobodies instead of contacting the health department and doing something about it?
