Sorry to bump, but I've looked elsewhere and can't seem to find an answer and I'd hate to throw out a nice duck breast just because I'm erring on the side of caution. Thanks.

How long have you had it there? From the freezer? I had some vacuum packed frozen ground lamb that I removed from the freezer Sunday and at last night, FWIW.
Edit - I took them out with some vacuum packed duck breasts that I cooked the next day - i.e., after one day in the fridge.

It wasn't frozen when I bought it, and hasn't been frozen since. It has been refrigerated, and it is in a vaccum sealed bag. It's been in there for about a week.

If it were me, I'd use them, applying the sniff test both when removing them from the packaging and while/after cooking.

True, can't go wrong with a sniff test.
