- The SFDA has earlier stated that the following are indications that red meat is spoiled.
* Change in smell brought on by the production of certain gases brought on by the presence of bacteria.
* Color change: Meat turns from pinkish-red to dark red, grey, or yellow.
* Change in texture: Fresh meat has a smooth, soft texture, whereas rotten meat develops a sticky texture as a result of the growth of germs on the surface. Follow Saudi Expatriates on Linkedin
