Have I just given us all food poisoning?

[ilikeitwhenshegoesbabababababa]

Cooked chicken this evening - 3 days until use by date. Tiny little bit of a smell to one of the breasts all the others smelled fine. All from same packet. All looked fine and not slimy. DH ate quite a lot of it and then ate one bit that he said tasted sour. Could I have cooked chicken that had gone off? By the way I know how ridiculous this sounds having written it down - but I have serious fear of vomiting and now can't stop thinking we are all going to be ill.

Nah sure it was cooked over enough time and high enough heat to kill any serious bugs. Feed em yogurt tomorrow.. I left the plastic giblets bag in with the roast Turkey this evening. Eat or chuck ?

You might have. And cooking long and on high heat may kill the bacteria but NOT THE TOXINS they leave behind which make you sick. Which is why it is NEVER a good practice to just “cook” meat that has gone off.

Oh, on vomiting, #1 most common symptom of food poisoning is diarrhoea anyway.

I think your fear of vomiting is making the risk seem higher than it is, I wouldn't be concerned. The chicken was in date and it can't have smelt that bad or you wouldn't have cooked it. Presumably your husband also stopped eating the bit that tasted bad so I don't think you've anything to worry about.
