Boring thread: are these prawns safe to eat?

Bought pre cooked prawns to throw in a fried rice dish. All in date and fine.

Yesterday I had some friends over in the garden and accidentally left the fridge open after getting a bottle out. Around an hour later I noticed that the door was open. The prawns were on the edge of a shelf.
The packet didn’t feel especially cold. Do you reckon I should chuck them rather than eat them?

If they smell and feel ok I’m sure they’ll be fine

Aurorie11 · 09/04/2021 17:03

Have you smelt them?

MadMadMadamMim · 09/04/2021 17:03

If they smell ok I'd eat them.

If it was only an hour they will be fine.

Give one to the cat and if it doesn't turn it's nose up at it they're probably fine, works for me.

FelicityBeedle · 09/04/2021 17:05

I would eat them

KoalaOok · 09/04/2021 17:05

Chuck them. Don't take chances with food poisoning from seafood.

Roszie · 09/04/2021 17:07

They'll be fine unless you live in a crazily hot place.

Lovingspring · 09/04/2021 17:07

I would chuck them.

Are you somewhere hot? If you're somewhere in the UK, where it's been cold the last few days, it's possibly warmer in the fridge than out. In which case, eat them!

I’m rubbish at smell testing things like fish Blush.

Keep the house at around 19 degrees. Oven would have been on for children’s dinner just before that too.

I keep thinking is it worth it? Both parents with food poisoning and two small children.

I hate food waste, but I wouldn't mess with shellfish. You wouldn't enjoy it anyway - you'll be on edge the whole time!

We Brits are hardy, but most of us have our houses at a temperature somewhere above five degrees Grin
