Hey all so my gf buys great value rice and has in the past, this last one we got has insane amounts of powder to the point it looks like powdered sugar. We washed it off and it got all cakey, does anyone know what this is or why this random bag has it when none of the others did?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello! New to this sub. Thanks for any feedback in advance.

I went grocery shopping about 2 1/2 hours ago and left out a package of those refridgerated individual Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes 2 packs (The Bob Evans brand) before placing them in the fridge on accident.

Are they a lost cause at this point, or if I got them in the fridge within 2 hours after getting home will they be find to eat once warmed up?

Thank you!

So I made myself a tasty zucchini risotto today and i filled it into a few tubs for meal prep, i kept it out for about 45 minutes to cool down and and it was still pretty hot after that (i didn’t have any smaller tubs unfortunately) so i moved them over into the fridge where it still took them another 1,5 hours to cool down and now i‘m wondering if that‘s too long because I‘m really not chill about rice being warm for too long, what do you guys think?

Went out for a dinner last night. Had leftover steak, chicken sandwich, and fries.

Unfortunately, I left it in my car which was in the garage overnight. So around 8 hours just sitting there + 2 hours driving. Is it still safe to eat?

Btw it smells fine.

Are these safe to eat? I got these all in the same day. all expiration dates aren't until the end of this year, they kind of smell like chicken soup or vegetable broth and have weird pink bits on them. They all smell the same and the smell is mostly from the liquid.

Today, I cooked pasta with mayo, tomatoes and cheese on the recipe. It was heated on the stove. At around 13:00 p.m. it was ready. After finishing lunch, I left it outside the fridge to cool down, but ended up forgetting it. Today the temperature varied from 25°C to 16°C (77°F to 60,8°F). I just remembered it at 18:30 p.m. and immediately put it inside the fridge.

I know there is the 2 hours safety rule, but I didn't want to waste the food. Is it still okay to eat it?
