or slimy. Poultry showing those characteristics should not be used.
Therefore, consider the complete condition of the product.
A localized green section buried inside otherwise normal-looking breast meat fits the recognized appearance of green muscle disease more closely than widespread deterioration accompanied by slime and an unpleasant smell. Nevertheless, when you cannot confidently determine why the meat looks abnormal, discarding it or returning it to the retailer provides the simplest cautious option.
Also, never taste questionable raw or cooked chicken to determine whether it has spoiled.
