That date is probably a "sell-by" rather than an expiration. If stored well-chilled, the meat should be good for a few days beyond that. The closer the storage temperature is to freezing, the longer it will keep. If you know you are not going to be using it within a few days, I would recommend that you freeze it.

Providing it has been properly stored and then is properly cooked it probably won't do you any harm.
