Newly bought bacon just opened today

So we bought this bacon on 5/3/26 at a dollar general. It is Smithfield center cut applewood smoked and expires on july 3rd 2026. I just opened it. It looks good and has the meat shimmer that ive heard meant good meat and smells wonderful.... but when i opened it, it had a short slime like string and it feels a bit slimy. Is this safe to eat and use?
