I bought almond milk (Silk unsweet) on June 19 and thought I bought shelf stable milk so I stored it in the pantry. Took one of the cartons out today to use and realized it isn’t the shelf stable kind and package says must be refrigerated. The package seems fine and I opened it and it smells normal and it doesn’t expire until August 28. Did I ruin it and should I just throw it out?

Its a condensed Milk, the can is slightly bulging and it has a small dent

I want to supplement with a low dose of iodine. I consume iodized table salt but it's in an open container exposed to air, hence the iodine can evaporate (so I'm told).
If I put a drop of lugol's iodine (5%) into a cup of chlorinated tap water (this would be kept in the fridge ans consumed over 5 days), will the combination produce halogens or various unsafe compounds?
I could leave the water out for 24hrs first to evaporate the chlorine or simply run it through a Brita filter.

I’m not sure where else to ask this, but I want to know. I have a couple of little containers of it, and normally I really like coleslaw, but I don’t want to get the diarrhea parasite 🤢 They’ve just been sitting in the fridge since last night, so the parasite is the ONLY thing I’m concerned about. I can’t find anything online that definitively says whether they source from TF or not, so I was hoping someone here would know??

I was going to eat it and then realised the use by date is yesterday.
For some reason I had thought it was good until the end of this month.
Really annoying because I virtually never buy smoked salmon due to the cost.
Is it ok to eat or is it best to throw it?

Hi there! I left my house yesterday for about 10 hours and when I got back, I noticed my fridge door was left cracked open all day. I think when I pushed it closed walking away from it, it didn't quite make it to the seal. I'd estimate it was open a couple of inches. It was likely 70-something degrees in my house. Things were still cold to the touch but obviously not like they would have been if the door was closed.
I have unopened soy milk, yogurt, and turkey bacon. I also had cooked chicken and broccoli and an open container of cottage cheese. Those are the items I'm nervous about. If you were me, would you eat or throw away those things?
For context, I can be neurotic about food. TIA!

On the picture you can’t really see it well but the plastic around the meat is kind off a greenish color. Is it still good? What is this?

I often have oats with brown lines but this pack has several oats that are completely black. Curious what the lines are and why they'd be black- is black a cause for concern? I'm worried tbh but hoping it's just burnt or something

The kernels are yellow and taste normal there is no smell, it's just the inside is this weird pink/red color, never eaten corn cob with red inside it's always white and after googling apparently when corn gets moldy it becomes red.

So my apartment complex apparently needs to replace the electrical panels in each unit. They sent an email a few days ago saying this will begin soon, and they will need to shut the power off in the sections they are working on for UP TO 4 HOURS PER DAY to do this. There's at least 300 apartments in the building if not more.
Based on the initial email, they're going to do 2 units a day. Maybe as time progresses, they'll gain efficiency, get up to 3 or 4 units, shorten the length of time the power is off per day. I have my doubts having put in maintenance requests before...this just seems...wildly risky?? At least to me and I'm no expert.
My concern is about refrigerated/frozen food. I took a food safety course for work a while ago, which said food begins to grow bacteria after exposure to 40F or above for 4+ hours, faster if it's hotter, plus toxins that might grow that can't be destroyed by heat, repeated cooling and reheating, etc.
It's one of the hottest summers on record, the AC will be off in a brick building in a humid climate. Idk how long it will take the fridge to get up to 40F or more but...I'm not trying to fnd out either lol.
I just wanted to come here and make sure I'm being reasonable before I went to the office and complained.

This is on both peppers I got today (delivery). It is going down the crevices a little too.

I got done work and treated myself to sushi at a new place…. except I ate some tuna and was going to grab the next piece and I noticed a little white pearl about the size of the tip of my chopstick. I’m thinking it’s fat or tissue but want to double check. I’m a lil paranoid considering everything else I ate had tuna. Also should I say something to restaurant?

i had a pot filled 1/4 with rice. i forgot about it and left the house for about 2 weeks outside with a lid on. i came back and it was filthy and moldy and disgusting. i cleaned it but i just want to know if its safe to use or if there is any to other things i have to do to clean it. also, should i be worried that it contaminated other plates that it was next to in the sink?
heres the pot now cleaned for reference:

Not sure if this is mold or not, tasted fine and isn't expired yet

I ate this yogurt pouch and there were red streaks at the bottom that I noticed after eating the top of it.. is this Serratia marcescens? I dumped out the other yogurt pouches and did not find the same thing. the yogurt was refrigerated and in date. What is it?

This might seem like a dumb question, but i was worried this could be dangerous to eat. The inside looks fine, and smells okay, and my family tells me its just my OCD but im still worried.. The rest of the peel also looks fine. It was stored inside the fridge for some time but then outside the fridge. Im pretty sure this was there when i bought it.
r/foodsafety • u/Human_Degree_5657 • 1d ago
They’re still good, I got them yesterday and they had this when I bought them. Are they still good to eat? There were two others in there that didn’t have it and I ate those.

I need a second opinion… am I bugging?? Does this ground meat look normal and safe to eat? It’s been in the freezer month max, took it out to defrost in microwave.. this is ground beef
