Bacon – how does it go “bad”

160 views

Commercial bacon is a cured meat but it has a “best before date” on the package. Assuming it’s left in the original packaging, what happens to it after the BB date to make it inedible? (Acknowledging that the BB date is probably conservative and there’s likely some time built in before it’s truly inadvisable to consume.)

Bacon is apparently supposed to be eaten within a week of opening, if not frozen. But my whole life we’ve eaten it way past then. If the bacon is molding or smells sour then it’s tossed out, but I’ve found that until then it still tastes fine
