Am I going to get sick? Ate 2 week old brownies with eggs

Just that. I assumed they would be fine and had left them room temp for two weeks.

ate them, they tasted fine. No signs of spoilage. But they contain egg and butter.

what are the chances?

If they are cooked and haven't gone mouldy then they are fine.

shoppingshamed · 21/03/2024 20:28

Raw eggs?

TomeTome · 21/03/2024 20:29

Depends how sloppy they are.

Katesblurryhand · 21/03/2024 20:30

The brownie was cooked, then frozen. Then came to room temperature and I left it for two weeks at room temp and just ate it. Contains eggs.

Yikes. It was nice knowing you OP. 💀

DappledThings · 21/03/2024 20:32

I can't think why this wouldn't be fine. It was a cooked cake? Might have been a bit stale but not harmful unless it was mouldy.

Katesblurryhand · 21/03/2024 20:32

What type of food poisoning will it be? Salmonella?

I reckon you'll be totally fine tbh

Lucylaughing · 21/03/2024 20:33

You'll be fine

Dartmoorcheffy · 21/03/2024 20:33

Of course it will.be absolutely fine. There are cakes on supermarket shelves sitting at room temperature for weeks made with eggs..

JoJothegerbil · 21/03/2024 20:35

You'll be fine. I ate 2 day out of date cod tonight. I like to live on the edge.

RedCarWithDice · 21/03/2024 20:35

You'll be fine. Try not to worry.

PepperJacksBestHo · 21/03/2024 20:35

I ate a Mr Kipling cake bar earlier which had a BBE of November 2023. I'm still here... so far.

Notenoughdollarbucks · 21/03/2024 20:36

You’ll be absolutely fine. Forget about it. I’d be more worried about your over reaction to eating something questionable than the actual risk of food poisoning.

i once ate a raw chicken dipper. As in raw uncooked chicken. I didnt realise because it was southern fried flavour. Anyway guess what happened. Absolutely nothing at all 🤷🏼‍♀️

Choice4567 · 21/03/2024 20:36

Why would there be an issue with a baked cake containing cooked egg?

FacingTheWall · 21/03/2024 20:36

Of course you’ll be fine, they’re cooked. Cakes sit in supermarkets for weeks, they’re not all in the fridge.

A 5% solution of hydrochloric acid in your stomach gets rid of a surprising number of pathogens.

sarahc336 · 21/03/2024 20:41

It's baked egg so you will be fine

Wow! I hope your last will and testament is up to date!! 😂

merrymelodies · 21/03/2024 20:51

If the eggs were cooked as an ingredient in the brownie, there's no risk.

Dewdilly · 21/03/2024 20:52

Why would this even be an issue? Of course it’s fine.

Strugglingtodomybest · 21/03/2024 20:54

It's absolutely fine OP, please don't worry. As a pp said, think about how long cakes sit in shops.

Katesblurryhand · 21/03/2024 23:07

Well I have diarrhoea…

could be from something else.

would it happen so quickly?

pinkdelight · 21/03/2024 23:11

It's fine, as people keep saying. Cooked eggs in a baked cake is not the same as raw eggs. Your shits will be unrelated.

Snugglemonkey · 21/03/2024 23:21

Totally no seeing the issue tbh! If it looked ok,smelt ok, tasted ok, it was probably ok.

When I was 19, I spent a summer camping in Holland and working in a bulb factory. We had been there 6 weeks when someone told us that the speck sandwiches we ate several times a week were finely sliced raw bacon. Stored in a tent. In the heat. For up to a week. Eaten with mayo in a roll. We were grand!
