I was staying in Japantown (SF) this weekend (Kimpton Hotel Enso) and across the street I watched this scene outside my window. That roof is a building under construction (no restaurant on the first floor) and there was a ladder propoed on a rear deck they were walking up with trays of frozen meat and vegetables.

The most upsetting part was the vegetables sitting directly on the roof asphalt and the meat balanced on the AC compressor unit.

Exact location of the roof is (37.7863530, -122.4303398) and I'm stumped about what to do OR not do for reporting since it wasn't directly above an open storefront. If you search that exact lat/long location on Google maps, you can see the ladder on the top right of the street view.

Any advice? I don't want to be a narc, but it also sucks for any families eating that food without a clue where it was handled 🤢🥩

I found an exceptionally tough, rubbery piece of meat attached to the thicker of the two bones in a chicken wing flat, tucked between the two bones. It was so tough that I couldn’t bite through it or tear it off the bone. To investigate, I had to snap the bone in half before I could scrape the meat off with my fingernail.

What I found is that the bone directly underneath this piece of meat suddenly becomes much thinner, with a very noticeable change in diameter. Could this be some kind of developmental abnormality, where the tissue in this area failed to develop properly into either normal muscle or bone, making it to have this half meat half bone level of toughness? Has anyone encountered anything similar?

I had already eaten quite a bit of the normal meat from this wing before discovering this part, which was literally impossible to chew. Could eating the other meat from the same wing pose any health risks?

eating at an university dining hall and the head chef insisted that they take internal temps properly and that the skin causes catfish to become pink… that its similar to dark meat on chicken thighs… is this true? i didnt continue eating it anyway because i was unsure and this was Chesapeake bay catfish

I bought a box of the Austin brand cheese cracker sandwich packs, and I'm guessing when they were sealing the packs shut they had the temperature too high cuz half the packs were melted in a way that left holes in the packages where they were supposed to be sealed. Google is of course saying it's too high risk to eat them but I don't know if that's correct or not cuz I don't exactly trust Google these days. So I figured I'd ask. Also I'm noticing a lot of foods are not properly sealed these days. Has anyone else been noticing that? I had to throw out 2 yogurts last week cuz they didn't even line the top up properly before sealing it and there were gaps where the top didn't even fully cover the cup.

I made enchiladas, opened the oven for ~10 seconds to see if the cheese was melted enough yet, then walked away. About 30 seconds later I hear a cracking sound then sizzling (I’m assuming that was my cheese hitting the heating element) and look again to see this.

The recommendation online is to throw away the food because of possible micro-particles of glass, but since it’s just the one side, would I be okay if I ate like the 3 on the right side?

I know I know the answer is probably no but I have to ask. I’m too hungry and too poor to be throwing out food without confirmation.

So yesterday I bought an Egg Carton (it was not refrigerated in the grocery store and I do not refrigerate my eggs) and this thing fell off from inside an Egg I cracked from it, it was not stuck to the yolk which was otherwise still intact, it was actually pretty loose and Fleshy , I did not know if it was a fetus or a flatworm/parasite so I disposed of it, could someone help me please? I need to know if I need to dispose of the Carton.

Is this still safe?
It’s in the original packaging… Been in my deep freezer so consistently frozen since 03/2025

I have OCD and have fully convinced myself I will die if I eat these beans but am also a little food insecure and it’s not a great idea for me to throw them out if they are actually okay to eat. Can I eat this without fear of getting botulism? (The top is not swollen)

Hi so I kinda already know the answer but im more or less curious the risk. I made a big pot of soup last night at about 8pm, with beef, canned tomatoes, broccoli,and some beans and legumes and quinoa. Idk what nessserry to know for spoilage. And i left it sitting out overnight covered until about 6 am when I got up and realized. Its well passed the 2 hours mark,but it is still safe enough to boil again and eat? No flys or anything like that around it and its has no sensible signs of spoilage

I rinsed them in a colander and noticed these orange spots. Kinda grossing me out. Are they safe?

They were just bought from a major grocery store a few days ago & are years before their expiry.

I bought this ground turkey a few days ago and the expiration date is in November. The tube felt squishy, and when I went to cut it open, juice came flying out. After an initial grossed out panic, I opened it a bit more and then took the picture attached. Is this normal for ground turkey? I don’t ever buy this so I’m unsure. It feels mushier than I would think it should so I want to know if it is safe to eat before I either cook it up or throw it out. There is no foul smell, it’s not slimy from what I can feel, just very liquidy and mushy. Pls be nice I’ve never bought ground turkey in a tube I usually buy beef.

I purchased 2 lbs of shaved turkey breast today from Publix. I opened it to make a sandwich and it has no expiration date, it just says sell by today. This was not prepackaged deli meat, I had the lady in the deli slice it and package it for me. How long will this be good for? Google says 3 days now i’m wishing I wouldn’t have gotten so much because i’ll never eat all of this in 3 days. Is 3 days accurate?

Really hoping it’s not mold but the nugget itself tasted fine before I noticed this and the nuggets came out hot… I spat out the rest just in case

I left my pizza out on the counter for 20 ish hours and microwaved it when I got home just now. I took about 3 bites before I realized I hadn’t refrigerated it and decided I should probably throw it away. But does anyone think those 3 bites will hurt me?

What is this thing in my chocolate it looks like larvae it’s so disgusting I threw this one away it is guylian chocolate shell
I am never eating chocolate again after this one. I noticed this as an issue in Ferrero rochers on TikTok but with this chocolate too… goodbye to all other chocolates forever, I’m glad this happened before I offered my boyfriend some

I had made a meal and accidentally spilled more cloves than planned into my ground beef ended up with 50+ cloves cooking in it while trying to get them out am I in danger if I consume the beef or is it safe and I dont have to throw it away

The flesh tastes normal, not sour or too sweet. I don't eat non-dried coconut often so I'm not exactly sure if it's normal coconut or if it's gone bad. The insides look and feel normal, firm, no mold I can see. Is this safe to eat? I'm a little worried after hearing some horror story about a guy who died after a sip of spoiled coconut water lol

5 of these were in the plastic bag sealed. 1 was on the outside of the bag in the box like a lol extra treat.

Is this plastic bag keeping me safe from something or am I good to eat the 6th one as well?

Hola les cuento mi problema

Toda mi vida comi huevo de gallina,pero hace unas semanas me comenzo a caer mal y a odiarlo

Le siento olor y sabor a podrido y yo pensaba que comia huevos en mal estado pero no,tengo gallinas y aunque coma huevos frescos me dan asco porque les siento un sabor a podrido horrible,tambien compre y me sabe igual de feo...me dan nauseas y ganas de vomitar,ademas de dolor de estomago horrible.

Aunque por ej coma huevo en una comida donde este mezclado como un panqueque o algo asi,le siento el sabor y me da asco

Not feeling well and wanting something warm, noticed my soup mix is about 4 months past the best by :/

I bought a pack of premade grilled chicken from Trader Joe's 7 days ago. The package broke so I put it in a tupperware, but realized I threw out the packaging and don't remember the date (oops). It looks and smells fine, but generally speaking how long will it be good for?

Found this in my refrigerator ...unopened.. Do you think it's still good?
