If you are stupid enough to leave a shopping bag in the car for 2 days...

[MadauntofA]

Would you eat:
Quorn picnic eggs and chicken and veg soup?
I didn't unpack the bags, so didn't realise until this morning (ignored that nagging feeling that some things were missing!) Most of the stuff was cupboard stuff, so ok. Bottle of milk and some cheese will be easy to taste, but just concerned that the quorn and the soup may be an issue.
Weather was mixed here, not too hot, but then it was in the car?

The milk would.be ok to drink of it tastes ok but you will.find that it won't last as long even after refrigerated

Sniff test

I too am normally a "Sniff it and see type" .However this lot would be in the bin pronto! You are not silly though .Last week bought some Chicken Breasts and put in fridge .Got out to use 2 days later ,were off by 2 days!Yours truly forgot to check the date .And found out it was marked down for that reason!

I would have binned the milk instantly, but with the quorn picnic eggs, it would depend on where the car had been parked. In the sun? Bin. Somewhere shaded? Might chance it - those things are fairly robust.

Cheese? Depends how sweaty it looked...

@smokescreen sniff test would probably be ok for dairy, but meat could smell fine and still make you extremely sick.

No. It's been 2 days and it's been very warm, even warmer inside a metal car. It's not worth food poisoning, just bin it.

Not the eggs. If it was canned soup, yes.
Fresh soup, no way.

Bin it

I have a tiny greenhouse and as a result, I’ve been using my old broken down car as an extra space for growing seedlings. The seedlings in the car are doing better than the ones in the greenhouse. I dread to think what some of your food is growing, OP. 🤢

Winter-yes(apart from milk)
At the moment-for the sake of a few quid play it safe-your innards will thank you.

None of it. Even the cupboard stuff has been at possibly very high temperatures, so I'd bin it.

Aren't the packages all blown out and puffy? I'd bin the lot tbh.

Cupboard stuff was -
rye bread (had this morning, and assumed ok.)
Couple of tins (not worried about these)
Biscuits (not worried)
Snack nut bars (not worried)
1 pack microwave rice - not sure about this??

Packages all looked normal, and no funny smells!!

Oh, gross. 2 days? No chance with the milk. I wouldn't even dare take the lid off. No to the soup. It's meant to be stored in a fridge. A car, in this circumstance, is the opposite of a fridge.

The cheese is probably ok but will be sweaty and, in my house, would go in the dog.

You aren’t supposed to refrigerate eggs or cheese (apart from certain varieties of soft cheese) anyway.

Eggs shouldn’t be refrigerated, unless you’re in the US or certain other countries, because they are prepared for sale there destroys the protective coating meaning they are more vulnerable to infection. In the UK they are treated differently so are safe to store in a cupboard. That’s why eggs are sold on regular shelves in supermarkets here, and in America they are sold in the refrigerator section.

Refrigerating cheese destroys the flavour. Go into a cheesemonger, most of their cheeses are not kept in refrigerated units.

I’m really surprised anyone would even think to try milk that had been left out in a hot car for so long!
