Is it safe to grill and eat an unopened pack of Makkaraa that has been left out of the fridge for 1.5 days?

  2. No, definetely not worth to risk food poisoning. These temperatures won’t help either.

  5. It says you should store it below +6C (so the fridge). But honestly, I’ve been on camping trips where we’ve stored sausages like this for days outside the tent with no problems. This too has plenty of salt, stabilizers & preservatives. Also it’s in a vacuum packaging. And you will heat it up in very high temps in the grill I assume?

    Don’t take my word for it. This is not health advice. Always consult your doctor first.

    But I’d eat it 😅

  6. If you have nothing else and your life depends on it, you could risk it. Safer to take the loss and toss it IMO

  7. Just grill it. Its already done before it was put in to the wrap.

  10. If you want to sleep in the bathroom then go ahead and eat it 😆 that sausage is not safe to eat anymore

  11. If there is no bubbles, smell or strange texture it is more likely safe than not safe. Everyone working with food would throw it away.

  12. If it does not smell bad or look funny I’d go for it.
    Grill it good

  13. people are so sensitive here, smell and taste it first. You know you have those two senses pretty much for this exact reason after all. Humans as a species have survived without fridges tens of thousands of years 😄

  14. Just eat it. And don’t forget to tell us how you feel afterwards.

  16. No problem. Even steaks that have gone a bit gray and smell funky can be good when grilled good and seasoned

  17. Do a smell test. If it has still strong vacuum when opening, the chances of anything heat resistant is ~0. Just make sure you cook it fully.

  18. For me it depends on the temperature it was in. With regular room temperature, I’d probably eat it.

  19. There’s a lot of salt and saturated fat in it, so can’t really say that it’s safe. If it smells and tastes okay you’re probably not going to get food poisoning from it… sausages are really not the kind of food that goes bad real quickly

  21. I just always look at the product and think of its price. In the case of sausage we are talking about 2-5€. So I always just ask myself whether I would be ready to pay that sum, let’s say 3€ to NOT have food poisoning. Usually the answer is yes. 

  22. With how hot it’s been lately, I wouldn’t. I’d usually eat eggs after their sale by date as well, but since it’s been 30 degrees recently, I don’t wanna try my luck.

  23. I would eat it, total waste not to. It would start to go bad after a week or so due to vacuum seal + preservatives. Humans have great instict to smell if it’s bad.

  24. Food starts creating bacteria in 2 hours of room temperature. You can eat it, but there is a chance you get food poisoning, even if the food looks eatable.

  26. Meat is a bit iffy generally but usually our bodies can be pretty reliable at detecting foods that are unsafe to consume because of age. Look, smell, taste in that order. If it fails one then don’t move to the next. 

    How does it look? Any discoloration or texture changes that you see, bubbles or excess liquid? 

    How does it smell? If there’s anything different than usual it’s probably best to toss it. 

    Taste a little. Does it taste normal? If it doesn’t taste like you’re expecting it to, or tastes somehow bad or off, toss it.
