Will I kill my family if I feed them these sausages?

I bought sausages yesterday. I just found them still lurking in the bottom of my shopping bag instead of in the fridge. They are in a sealed Tupperware container but have had 26 hours out of the fridge in an averagely heated kitchen.

They are really tasty sausages if that makes any difference to your opinion.

I would not be eating those, no

TammyKat · 08/12/2019 13:18

I wouldn’t eat them personally

justinhawkinsnavalfluff · 08/12/2019 13:18

I wouldn't go there.

No way, think of the bacteria that has been forming in that time 🤢

It's a no from me sorry! I hate food waste too but just wouldn't risk that.

TheStaleBiscuitofDoom · 08/12/2019 13:19

There's not a chance in hell that I'd eat them.

Lulualla · 08/12/2019 13:20

I'm really chilled out about used by dates and all that stuff but unrefrigerated meat would just be a no from me

sassafras123 · 08/12/2019 13:21

Definately a no.

Absolutely not and I'm really lax about things like this!

ClashCityRocker · 08/12/2019 13:22

Wouldn't risk it with pork sausages.

lifeisgoodagain · 08/12/2019 13:27

I would, just cook through thoroughly but I'm pretty liberal with food hygiene ... but never had an issue, cast iron stomach!

I've sneaked them into the bottom of the food waste bin. Hoping DH won't spot them. If he'd left 12 lovely sausages overnight in a shopping bag I'd have chewed his ear off.

I'd eat them. /

GingleJangleScarecrow · 08/12/2019 13:55

I would probably eat them.
Why are they in a tupperware container?

turkeyontheplate · 08/12/2019 13:57

I'd eat them

Aquamarine1029 · 08/12/2019 13:57

Yes, in the bin they go. Last year I accidently left TWO whole chickens in the car, not discovered until the next day. Gag. I was so angry with myself for wasting food like that.

GingleJangle - they are in a Tupperware container cause I am saving the world by not buying single use plastic. Halo So I get my meat (and cheese, and fish) at the counter and have it packed into my own containers. At first everyone thought I was barking but now Sainsbury's and my local butcher both have signs up inviting everyone to do the same.

I could probably save the world more effectively by not buying meat at all, but we've all got our limits. Grin

That's how I get my meat and fish etc. Everyone at the butcher's here does it. Except the old people! They get the plastic wrap.
