Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Forgot about sausage in refrigerator.?),it will help you,my kids.

It said for best taste sell by July 17th. Today is July 24th, it smells ok. and is not brown but regular color. Can I still cook it for dinner?

Answers:
Don't take a chance. Throw it out. For the sake of a few dollars, I would throw it out. If it was past the sell-by date a day, it would likely be OK, but not a week. Same with eggs or mayo or salad dressing. I know people who have been very sick when eating things that were past by the sell-by date by only 3 or 4 days (sick: meaning trips to the ER due to food poisoning.)

Other Answers:
sell by doesn't mean cook by. I would cook & eat it.

um, i would sell by 17th, not unreasonable that it should be ok to cook and eat a week or so after that date...wasn't a "use by" date...you should be good to go

Is it pre-cooked or not? If pre-cooked and never opened, it should be ok - it's probably loaded with sodium nitrate as a preservative so the sell-by date means you can keep it another 5-7 days.

Is it from a factory, or a butcher shop? If from a factory, it's probably safe. Butcher shops are another question -- they probably are not inspected as often.

But since you say there is no smell, it's probably ok to eat. If you heat it thoroughly (fry, broil/grill or boil) the cooking will destroy any bacteria.

Just let it go!!!! It couldn't have cost over $7? I would rather lose the money and be safe than take a chance. The old saying is: "When in doubt, throw it out."

It is the toxins theses little guys leave behind...they are not cooked out of food. Be careful, I would wash the outside very well in hot water before attempting to cut open, then make sure several sensitive noses inspect the meat. Myself? I'd run to the store and buy another one...or just eat something else...good luck

Better safe than sorry...toss it and buy fresh.

I am just very particular, and I would not eat it. But you will probably be safe. maybe you could check with your local grocery store and ask the butcher.
