Bit of a catastrofuck last night. Checked on my sweet pancetta boi and found the black mark of death. Mold. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, so, my lesson is:
Clean and disinfect any and every surface your raw meat comes into contact with, prior to it coming into contact.
The mold was caused my the roasting trivets I used to dry the meat on, with black lines exactly along the line of each rack. I did a bit of a butchery job cutting that side of the pancetta away and am hoping that's enough!
