food safety

I bought sheep meat today, and noticed that there are noticeable black-bean-type glands by the spine, neck and other parts. I don’t know if the meat is safe to eat.

Best Answer

Yes, the meat should still be safe to eat. The black nodes are lymph nodes, which occur around the spine, neck, and other parts (I didn’t look through this too thoroughly), so the meat is still safe for consumption. I would probably remove the nodes though, as they may look unappealing.
