In order to tell any meat is fresh, they must be
of the following:
a. The fat is soft and its colors range from
cream to reddish-white. For beef, it is mostly red. Yellow meat can be a sign
that it is not fresh.
b. The muscles and tendons hang tightly to the
bone.
c. The hole you make when you press your finger
on the meat closes back up and your palms stay dry.
