Can dark-colored meat be eaten?

Male  38 years old 2018-07-02
I bought a piece of pork today, and I didn’t look closely when I bought it. When I arrived home, I always felt that the color was not the same as the meat I originally bought. It seemed a bit deep. Can I still eat this kind of meat?

    The dark-colored meat is no longer fresh and can no longer be eaten. Fresh meat has a shiny surface and uniform color. Fresh pork is red or light red, and the fat is white; the color of beef and mutton is bright red, and most of the fat is yellow; the skin of poultry is light yellow or white, and the flesh is white and red. With the extension of storage time, due to the oxidation of myoglobin, the flesh color will gradually become reddish brown. The darker the color, the lower the edibility. And when the surface of the meat becomes gray or gray-green, and even white or black spots appear, it means that the microorganism has produced a large amount of metabolites, and such meat cannot be eaten.
