    How to tell raw kabobs with vegetables have gone bad

    General signs for meat: stuffed or assembled, the group USDA lists raw kabobs with vegetables under.

    • Sour or off smell coming from the filling, not just the meat
    • Filling that has gone slimy, watery or discoloured
    • Meat surrounding the stuffing turning grey or sticky
    • Packaging that has come loose or lets liquid leak out
    • Off smell during cooking that was not there raw

    More on meat: stuffed or assembled. The times above are quality guidelines, not safety limits; food that shows these signs goes out regardless of the date.

    Storage habits that make the difference

    Keep stuffed or assembled meat refrigerated at all times before cooking, and cook it within a day or two of purchase. Use a food thermometer to make sure both the meat and the filling reach a safe temperature throughout. Freeze uncooked portions tightly wrapped if you cannot cook them in time.
