URGENT FOOD HYGEINE QUESTION

[noonar]

dd wants some shop bought lentil soup from a container opened on weds. still well within date . ok to eat?

[berolina]

if you hjeat it through (letting it boil gently despite instructions to contrary - it won't ruin taste) don't see why not.

[JOSIE3]

it'll be fine

[FlossALump]

Most things seem to say on them to use within 3 days of opening - I'd be reluctant tbh! Although good on DD for wanting lentil soup!

[noonar]

ok, thats 2 yes and a no.

[TrinityRhino]

is it a tin? or a different container?

[noonar]

a plastic tub of organic soup, you know, like a giant yog pot.

[TrinityRhino]

dh reckons it should be ok, things left in tins aren't good but it's not tin and as long as you reheat to boiling should be fine

[fryalot]

Does it smell ok? Does it look ok? When you have heated it, have a little taste and see if it tastes as it should.

If it seems ok, it will be. It is lentil soup, if it was not ok, there would be something obvious.

[noonar]

thanks trinity. is dh an expert?

[noonar]

squonk, am gonna taste a bit. its heating now.

[TrinityRhino]

not an expert but I'm always really paranoid about this kind of thing so it's always dh that I ask about this sort of thing

[noonar]

ok, theyre eating it now, so no turning back!

[fryalot]

twill be fine.
