Found some black stuff on raw ribs. Safe to cook/eat?

[tb80]

I was prepping some ribs when I noticed this black stuff. Looks like dried blood in veins. Or a worm. Or ?







Anyone know what it is and if the ribs are still safe to eat? Some kids will be eating them and I want to make sure they are safe.

Kind of looks like blood capillaries from the pics. Like a bad trim job from the butcher. Can you cut them out? If the ribs don't smell bad, I would be ok, but if you're aren't sure or uncomfortable with them.... Your call.

I actually took them back to the store. The butcher said they were dried veins or tendons and not to worry about it but he also gave me a new rack.

Good deal then
