Unrefrigerated chicken - would you?

[Venisonpie]

Had a bevy too many on Saturday night and didn't close the fridge door properly. I've got some raw chicken breast in there that was due to be cooked for dinner tonight. I reckon the door was open for 7 hrs.
Would you?
Only me eating it so no other potential victims.

Sniff test - Smells ok then its ok

[RobbieTheTruth]

Personally no.

My attitude is generally, if you're going to be a bit paranoid, you're not going to enjoy it. For the sake of a few quid, I'd just get a fresh pack.

If that's not an option, then I'd imagine if it still smells fresh it would be ok.

Go and read the campylobacter thread in the Health section - then bin the chicken!

Still partially refrigerated for 7 hours. I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't think twice. Just eat it......

[talksthetorque]

I’d give it a go.
You’ll either be fine or lose a bit of weight.
Win win.

Chicken on sale in supermarkets (I'm thinking Sainsburys in particular) is kept on open chilled shelves rather than in closed refrigerators. Do many die as a result?

OP? what did you do?

[Venisonpie]

Bottled it. Bought a fresh batch. Don't need a day of the trots.

No, because the open chillers are still chillers

More like 2 weeks if you really get it.... Good call. I'd have done the same. Life is too short to spend it on the bog for the sake of saving a few quid.

Much like a domestic fridge, the door of which wasn't closed properly (I'm assuming this means closed but not latched, the OP doesn't say).

It was ajar by about 2 inches - propped open by a bottle of champagne oddly (not as poncey middle class as it sounds -it's the only one and been there for a while).

It would have been fine, the fridge would have been going overtime to keep itself cool what with the door being open a bit, anyway too late now.

I'd have ate it even if youd left it on the worktop above a radiator, aslong as it passes the sniff test.

Capp0. If you don’t want to get done for attempted murder I’d delete your confession about jbmc’s mum fairly quickly if I was you.

Trust me, nobody wants to experience campylobacter.

What a waste of perfectly good food.
