As I mentioned in the comments, that yellow-ish outer fat is much softer than everything else. It doesn’t smell putrid or anything, its softness is just a little concerning.
Should I have trimmed better to start with?
Is this abnormal?
Does it seem safe to eat?
If y’all could scroll through the pics and let me know your experienced thoughts, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

If you’re in doubt, throw it out.

Did you put red chili flakes on the outside? I’ve seen it discolor due to that before.

No i don’t think so. Taste a little piece and if tastes funny spit it out

being rancid is not poisonous, so try it and tell us if it’s rancid.
It’s not easy (or even possible) to tell from a picture.
Rancid is just oxidized fat – like butter that’s been open for too long.

Smell and taste honestly is the way to go with this imo. If you aged this yourself, was there a coating of white mold that you removed? This is penicillin based and should kill any bad bacteria

1. Smell.
2. It.
