You can tell lunch meat is past its prime by appearance, color, texture and smell. If it has become slimy or ropey, has odd things growing on it (like mold or pink slime), has changed color, turned mushy and/or smells different (of ammonia, vinegar or yeast), don't eat it.

Is fresh deli meat healthier than packaged deli meat?

Generally packaged meat has more chemicals or preservatives added, and therefore has a longer shelf life. Meat from the Deli can be confusing as well, some providers just grind meat together, then press it together, and that's what you see through the glass at the deli, it's just sliced off. If it's truly fresh, and not gelatin packed meat, it's healthier though.
