Mike,
I’d say a good nose could detect some bad meat through a bag, but to accurately make that distinction between potentially bad and the earthy smell given off by aging meat might be more difficult. If you think there is a problem and don’t want to wait longer to make sure of the smell by opening then why not cut a small corner, take a good whiff – and then if OK just suck the air out and reseal without removing it form the bag? Personally I doubt your meat has gone bad in that short of a period unless it had bacteria on it before bagging. Let us know the outcome! Ron
