Raw mince out of fridge for 24 hours: cook or chuck?

[ecuse]

Per the title...bought it yesterday in passing whilst out shopping for other things. Shoved it in my handbag and promptly forgot about it. Just discovered it now about 24 hours after purchase. Would you eat it? I'm thinking I either cook it immediately or chuck it, seems not worth putting in the fridge at this point.

It's mixed beef and pork mince if that makes a difference?

24 hours no. 6 hours yes.

I wouldn't

Definitely bin it (and I am lax about these things).

Definitely bin!

Smell it.

Definitely chuck it

Unless It’s been particularly cold where you are I’d be binning that. Though I am intrigued at the idea of having a packet of mince in a handbag in the first place!!

Smell and take a view.

Depends how cold it's been with you. If it's been cool, package isn't bloated and doesn't smell I'd cook it, but cook it well. If it's been warm, bloated and even slightly smelly I'd cook it up for my dog or chuck it.

If it smelled ok I’d eat it. Not raw though.

Use your nose. If you decide to cook it make sure it's thoroughly cooked.

That's disgusting you also need to clean your handbag

In your handbag??!

Bin it.

And remember, people, you can't smell or see the bacteria that cause food poisoning!

If in doubt
throw it out

Absolutely not.

No bin

And I eat anything

Often had a packet of mints in my handbag, not managed a packet of mince yet 😬

Bin it not worth getting ill for the price of a packet of mince.

I’m generally very relaxed but I would definitely bin it.

Assuming it was in a packet why would you need to clean the handbag 🤣

If your house is 37 degrees, no, otherwise, still no.
