buglebuster:
Ive ground alot of burger up the past few years and cant remember it ever being like this. I finally got around to grinding up my deer meat from my october buck, and thanksgiving 2nd deer tag doe. Its been in yhe freezer and I thawed it 2 days ago, ground it yesterday,  and wrapped it today. I noticed a big color difference in it that iv never noticed before. Has anyone ecperienced this before? It smells ok and I imagine its ok to eat.
Kc_Kracker:
its fine , remember the red is just blood color, as it gets more oxygenated it changes brownish
lokidog:
Yep, often the top or sides of the container will turn brownish with exposure to air, no problems.
Jburke:
I've never frozen then thawed to grind later but my first guess was going to be freezer burnt maybe.  But after hearing the other responses they are more likely.  Either way it should be fine

 :yeah: oxygen, i buy steaks all the time that have brownish tint to them from it.
