Storage of Meats Poultry and Seafood

open or unopened? if unopened it will be safe to eat long after your dead

No, red snapper should never smell fishier unless is going bad. Fresh fish smells like the sea, not fishy. The fishy smell comes from fish decomposing.

I am not sure what kind of stew that is but I have worked in restaurants for over 20 years and once we make something sauces or any kind of special we gave it a 36 hour shelf life and we also had what referred to as a 4 hour window, that included every minute that the chicken, meat of any kind was not refrigerateted at 41 degrees or lower before bacteria would grow. So to make a long explanation short I would say 36 to 48 hours at the absolute most.

i have never seen a gelatin substance in my tuna packed in water in 40 years. I would read the contents to detect the ingredients the tuna was packed. If this does not answer your question I would call the manufacturer on the label. If there is no number on the label try looking for their number on the internet or contact another big brand tuna company. Bottom line is that I would be very suspicious of tuna that is suppose to be packed in water but actually is a gelatin substance.

If the corn dogs were left out on the kitchen counter overnight, most likely the meat would contain harmful bacteria and they should be tossed out. If they were left overnight to defrost in the refrigerator, they would still be safe to eat.

Don't use it. Throw it away. It might not appear spoiled in the traditional sense (moldy, bad odor, slimy), but bacteria could have grown and toxins could have formed that could make someone sick.

You could end up with a spoiled turkey or one that could make people sick.

No.

If meat has been protected from freezer burn, roast and steaks stay good 8 to 12 months. Ground meat only stays good for 2 to 3 months.

No. It is not safe to eat turkey left out overnight in any container.

You could be playing with the health of whoever eats it. I would not recommend using it.

You should always keep fresh meats away from direct light (bulb) at top of frig., and never on top shelf where heat rises to. Items are always cooler, the lower in the frig. they sit. Never store raw meat above ready-to-eat items, since dripping meat juices could contaminate food that will not be cooked before consumption. The bottom drawer is usually the ideal place to store raw meat.

It depends on where you keep it. If it becomes discoloured or really moist or really dry, then no, it probably won't be good or healthy. :)

The "Sell By" date is the date after which the store is not supposed to sell the product.

20 years

You can store raw potatoes that are cut in water to keep them fresh in the refrigerator.They will stay good for a few days stored this way. You should cook them as soon as possible.

Not really.

No, its not.

No. If your time is correct, the chicken should be OK. Either get it refrigerated right away or cook it up.

No. Unless the interior of your car was as cold as your refrigerator or freezer, the BBQ pork likely was in a temperature range that could have allowed pathogenic bacteria to grow and their toxins to form. Such toxins might not be destroyed by reheating the food. It just isn't worth the risk to consume it.

Amish raise and slaughter livestock to get meat. They also shop at stores for items that they want. They may buy their meat from stores as well as by raising their own.

yes - but it might be a little dry

Buffalo chicken dip can be safely kept in the refrigerator for three to four days after it is made. You need to make sure to store it in an air tight container.

meat is no longer good if she is down.

No idea. Every pack of Black Forest Ham I have ever opened smelled like it was already starting to rot.
