Throwing out food in fridge after power cut?

[Icequeen01]

During storm Eunice my area had a power cut from midday until 5am the next morning. When the power came back I checked the food in the freezer and it still felt frozen so I think we are ok with the frozen stuff.

However, in my fridge I had prawns, bacon, fresh chicken breasts and yoghurts. DH thinks we should take no chances and bin it all but I'm not convinced. The fridge door was only opened a couple of times during the day when we boiled up some water on the gas hob to make a hot drink and the temperature in the house was pretty chilly due to no heating.

What would you do?

I think it will be absolutely fine
We had electric failure for same amount of time few wks ago, everything was still frozen in freezer, fridge stuff still cold, we are all still alive

I would bin the prawns. Cook the chicken today if it smells ok and definitely keep the yoghurts and bacon.

I’d bin the chicken and prawns and do a sniff test with the other stuff.

I'd bin the prawns and cook the chicken rather thoroughly today. The rest would be fine.

That link is from the US. Not uk in midwinter. I would eat anything except maybe the prawns if they didn't smell great.

I'm just chucking stuff out. We were off from 12.30 pm on Friday to 6am this morning though.
