Is my slightly gray meat patty safe to cook and eat?

I left my burger patty in the freezer uncovered overnight, then put it in a freezer bag for another night.

Ground meat turns light gray as the blood drains and it is exposed to oxygen. It is still safe to eat as long as it is not past the expiration date and does not smell.

I would not recommend eating it. You should be very careful when it comes to meat products. It is very easy for meat to spoil and for you to get food poisoning from eating unsafe meat.
