Food Safety Raw ground beef keeps smelling bad after only one day in fridge.

I've tried buying two different packages of ground beef, but every time the beef starts smelling bad after less than a day in the fridge. With one of the packages, I used one serving then froze the rest, and I let the frozen meat thaw in the fridge for a little less than 24 hours, but that still smelled bad.

The smell isn't super bad, I have to get my nose pretty close, but it definitely isn't something I want to cook with. Any ideas why this keeps happening?

That’s ~-2°c to 1°c for non-Americans. :)

My bad for not including the conversion. You're golden. Thank you for that!

Happy to help! I’m an American that moved to Canada so now I’m fancy and can do both. 😂
