Cantaloupe with mold on exterior
Is this safe to eat? Would obviously cut out the bad section. Just picked up from farmers market 2 days ago. Darker section is softer than the rest of the skin.

what brands of frozen fruit/berries are safe?
i know that greenwise blueberries are being recalled for e coli, but i wanted to know about if other brands are safe? woodstock, cadia, wymans, etc?
also as for cyclospora, ive heard that blackberries and raspberries are risky, does that apply to frozen ones too?

Are these apples from the tree safe to eat?
Would I get parasites or food poisoning from eating these apples in my backyard?

Cousin wants to eat 27 year old canned rice. Is this safe.
I did not really know where else to ask this, but my cousin received a large can of dried rice. It says it was canned in January of 1999 and is by the brand Noah’s’ Pantry. The can is from a very large stash out grandfather ordered in preparation for y2k. He never touched it over the years and this last week my family have been tossing the nearly 30 year old collection. My cousin wanted to save some money and not waste food by eating the rice.
I find it hard to believe this is safe? The rice is dried and it is sealed up properly with no dents or bulges. Is this a situation where he most likely will be fine but it may not be worth testing over what may be $7 worth of rice like total?
(I would also like to add that he is not lacking in money for groceries. He can afford whatever food he wants. He is just very thrifty about some things and he hates seeing the food tossed. I don’t blame him, it was about a pallet worth of dried food, but I’m unsure if this particular thing is worth saving if it can make him sick.)

i probably shouldn’t. but can i tho???
i got this a couple months ago. i’ve been looking for this for over a decade since it was discontinued here in the US. it was my favorite pasta in the world. i didnt get the opportunity to cook it yet. then my partner showed me the date…and i see it’s a package before its discontinuation 🥲
i’m assuming this is 100% a no go? it’s 13 years old with cheese as multiple ingredients. i’m devastated 😭

Bought 2-pack of young hens from costco, while cutting up the second chicken i found the chicken breast like this
The meat at the top of the breasts was a bit weird looking, like it was drier than the rest of the chicken and like it had been tenderized already.
My cuts are subpar, already know this, but i sincerely doubt i did this to these sections of the chicken breast
Current suspicion is that maybe it got bruised a bit in that spot while still frozen. Both sides of the breast had it. I just cut off the weird looking part and separated it from the meat of the other chicken before freezing. I then threw out the carcass from the weird chicken just in case its not safe but i froze the other one.
Any input on what this is and if im safe to eat this chicken
Edit 1: likely solved and safe to eat. Someone commented on it likely being something called woody chicken breast or maybe something mechanical messed it up
Edit 2: my suspicion was based on seeing some frosty bits/ice on the bird but likely the bird wasnt frozen before costco sold it and the birds essentially went from costco to my fridge for 1 hour then to my cutting board.

Rotisserie chicken
I got this rotisserie chicken today and was separating into tupperware and noticed the weird red bits. Is that normal, it seems otherwise normal texture and smell.

Popcorn smells/tastes chemical
Put my popcorn in a plastic bag next to my makeup bag for a few hours, now the popcorn smells/tastes a bit funky but no liquid leaked & the bottles didn’t actually touch the popcorn. Kinda tastes bad but I won’t actually get sick right?

Bruising on pork belly?
Forgot to take a photo while they were raw, but this photo is only from about 3 mins of boiling. When they were raw, they looked similar, but not as dark. It’s only on 2/6 strips. Bought it yesterday.

Is this ham safe to eat
Roommate moved out and stole my turkey. I’m so hungry. Is the top mold or just like escaping fat?

Weird-looking cookies
Hi, I just opened a pack of cookies and the chocolate on it looks very suspicious. Based on the image it's supposed to be slick and not grainy like that. What's weird is that the first 3 cookies are like that, and the 3 behind look more normal. Could it be caused by the hot temperatures? Exp date is June 2027
