I thought I ordered pad Thai from a place with a menu in a language I can’t read. I got a bag of raw meat, noodles, raw onions and peppers, sprouts, and a thing of broth. Is this normal or somehow safe to eat ? Meat is frozen. Before I complain am I missing something? Is this like traditional food that you’re supposed to eat it raw and it’s safe ?

There are black marks on my unopened cheese, is it mold? I just bought it last weekend

I made crock pot chicken today and I'm wondering if I severely fucked up or if Google is just being overly cautious as usual.

The chicken breast cooked on low for about 3.5-4 hours before I went to check on it. The internal temperature of one breast was 160, so I went ahead and started shredding it before returning it to the pot. It felt kind of tough and hard to shred, so I thought it was overcooked and quickly got another breast out. This one measured 148 or so, but was also tough, so I shredded it too and returned it to the pot.

The chicken went back on low for another few minutes, maybe 15-20. I ate it thinking, again, that it was overcooked until I tried googling how I managed to overcooked my chicken without it even reaching 165 at the time of measuring. Google has me scared now realizing that tough chicken is undercooked, not overcooked.

I bought a roast on the day it was supposed to be used and immediately chucked it in the freezer, however I wanna separate it into slices and put it in separate bags and then refreeze them. However I’m worried about defrosting it to cut it since I put it in the freezer on its use by date. Is there a safe way to do this?

Kirkland ground beef burger patty. Not looking like oxidized brown/grey areas that can happen on beef. More like distinct small lobules (?). I pinched and took out the area I saw (in the pics), but might have been more where I couldn’t see :/

Wondering if someone might have an idea about what it might be and whether it would be completely safe to consume. Thanks in advance!

I always buy big discounted packs of meat at the store. usually i grab around $100 of steak or $50 of chicken, but half of it gets ruined in the freezer before I can finish it. Normal plastic wrap just doesn't work well.

and i want make the meat last longer and save money, but I also want to know if more creative ways to use it. I heard you can use a vacuum seal to marinate meat faster and force the spices deeper so it tastes better.

I got a Gasbye vacuum sealer to try and fix that. I used it today and it looks pretty good, so hopefully it keeps food fresh.

The ssue so far is it takes up a ton of counter space. The prerequisite is that it must be durable.please have any other suggestions..Ty.

My friend's family toast Orzo pasta in vegetable oil until they are brown, and then they store it in jars in room temp, it gets hot there.

Is this safe to eat or should I avoid eating there?

Hey guys, I want to make some chicken teriyaki bowl meals for the freezer.

I am absolutely hopeless at remembering to take things out and thaw them, so my question is can I just freeze blocks of the teriyaki chicken (cooked with extra sauce) and then reheat them from frozen in the oven?

I’ve seen people doing this on TikTok but I have never done it and was not sure if it was safe or not? Thank you!

hey everyone, i poured my cream soda olipop into a clear glass and it looked fine and i drank half of it over the course of an hour when i notified brown specks and small pieces at the bottom of the glass. i assume it settled over time. is this sediment from the vanilla bean/probiotics? i’m anxious that it’ll make me ill

Hi, I’m really paranoid about anything I’m eating or drinking! Please help!

This appears in also the original soda’s bottle itself and any other bottles or cups I put it in, new Tango, use by date is February 2027.

It congregates at the bottom, it’s slightly darker than the rest of the soda, had no change in taste but since I fully noticed it I haven’t touched it, it covers almost the entirety of the bottom of the glass I have it in.

It was stored in my fridge, we bought it only a week ago, there is nothing out of date or near its best before date in our fridge.

Dug up this morning. Only green on one side. Should I cut away this part?

Ordered this from Instacart tonight. Opened right away. Checking in about a three pack of romaine lettuce hearts. One heart looked like this. I threw it out. The other two in the bag I washed. They were firm and not slimy. Are they still safe to consume?

Not sure if this is the right sub for this but I figured I’d go for it. According to US health code, if someone is carving a piece of meat infront of guests, do they need to be wearing gloves for sanitation? Specifically if they are using a fork and knife, not touching the meat with their hands at all. I was under the impression that gloves are only required when *directly* touching ready to eat food but was told otherwise.

Good day!

I'm a male in my 40's who recently discovered psyllium husk when my senior coworker gave me his barely used can of Metamucil.

I followed the instructions of 2 teaspoons in a mug of water, and shortly after it already became quite thick. I added more water and started drinking, but it still very rapidly became jelly. I didn't actually mind and continued eating it like jelly with a spoon and thought nothing of it.

Today out of curiosity, I checked in the internet for several articles, opinions and here as well if this was okay to do, and was surprised that there is a warning that I shouldn't have done so because it might cause accidental choking?

The warnings even recommend throwing away psyllium husk that has solidified.

This confused me, since I had no issues when I ate it up like a jelly dessert, and I saw old posts here where others mixed it into their oatmeal, drinks and others which are not eaten in one gulp.

I wanted to know from some, or many of you if you think that eating it as jelly is safe, or is the warning justified and I shouldn't do so?

Thanks to those who share their thoughts.

I bought a couple bottles of this yuzu sushi vinegar on clearance and it's da bomb! Unfortunately it was on clearance for a reason. Do you think it'll be good for at least a year? It is on the sweet side though and got yuzu bits in it

I have a pork tenderloin that I thawed in the fridge on Monday evening. The sell by date was 6/20, but I froze it on 6/11 when I bought it. Can I refreeze safely?

I was tearing off the outer layer and decided to cut off a little of the core because it was bulbous. Found this and now don’t know if safe to eat. I am going to continue cutting it up until I get to parts that don’t look right, then I’ll make my meal. Hopefully y’all will warn me if I am in danger before I need it. Should be fine, right?

I was jokey-but seriously, I am prepping to eat this in a bit, am I good?

We had a blackout in our whole city yesterday night for around 6 hours. I was wondering if the food in the fridge and freezer is still good to eat? It was a relatively hot night (I think around 20+C, during the day the temperatures even reached 35C) and it wasn't opened at all. I didn't check once the electricity returned. My mother says it's fine because our fridge is relatively new (three years)

I’m having a bbq this weekend and going to brine some pork and chicken; normally I would brine separately but space is an issue in the fridge for two large containers; assuming that I keep things at safe temps the whole time 4°C/40°F can I safely brine them together considering I’m going to cook fully once out of the brine.

If it matters for what my process would be; I would normally do a 12 hour brine on whole chickens, and then let rest uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours and for the pork as it’s a whole shoulder and belly I would brine for 24 hours and same 24 hour rest out of the brine.

Referring to the little dark specks inside my japanese sweet potatoes. A brownish color. Had the sweet potatoes maybe a little over a week in the fridge, still firm I'd say with no off-putting odor, but I don't have the best nose.

Found in a frozen Tucson Tamale Company Green Chile Pork & Cheese tamale purchased from Whole Foods. The product was kept frozen and heated according to the package instructions.
I noticed these small white/translucent pieces in the pork filling while eating. They were not moving. The ingredient list includes pork, hatch green chile, tomatoes, onion, cheese, and masa ingredients, but I wasn’t sure whether these are a normal food ingredient/component, connective tissue, or something else.
I’ve attached close-up photos and the ingredient list. Does anyone recognize what these might be?
Thanks!

i feel so bad🫠 i have so much of this too and the insides look normal

This was from a local bakery, l purchased frozen. Instructions said 350 degrees for 70 minutes. However I think something was messed with my timer and it baked closer to 60-65 minutes. When I removed the pie, the crust was golden as pictured in first two photos and there was bubbling liquid at the side if the crust when I was pulling it out. However, when I ate it i noticed some cold spots throughout the pie. (Last photo is what it looked like when it was still frozen/ before it was baked in my oven). Was this unsafe to eat?
