Husband and toddler have eaten out of date sushi

[Sailawaygirl]

Just in a bit of a panic as DH has just called me to say that he has accidentally eaten and given our toddler out of date sushie ( tesco meal deal pack). Use by was the 17/2 !
He said there was no obvious mold or bad taste.
I'm not normally a panicky person but this is so high risk with rice! It's been in his car for the weekend so not like its been in the fridge.
He bought some fresh today but didn't realise there was an old packet from last week!
Is there any I can do. Should I call nhs 111?

It isn't a MN thread if no-one says LTB!

Nonsense. Rice that has been cooking for hours becomes mush.

People in rice-eating countries the world over are incredulous at the hysteria there is around reheated rice.

No you misunderstood

@placemats was saying the op should leave the dh to sort it, as not her problem

I just made a joke in response to a pp comment that someone had said to leave her dh. That much I think I understood, and wasn't claiming to have understood more than that?

Oh I see what you mean. Yes, I did read that as "leave her husband." I'm too accustomed to it you see!

So what happened?

I can't believe the OP didn't come back.

Hope you’re all ok?!

Maybe it wasn't real? If it was, I hope they're OK.

@hollytheheroic i was expecting tales of explosive bowels... Either from the sushi or the natural remedies

Any updates ? Are they ok ?

What happened next... hopefully nothing!

The tension is killing me. Did they survive? Are they even now in the recovery position in a secure containment facility in case they explode?

Yak,glad i don't live with you!

I wasn't going to update as the thread got slightly detailed. But amazingly everyone is fine! Toddler continues to enjoy kefir and sauerkraut ( obviously not mixed together)

Derailed not detailed !

Ah that's good! Thank you for updating 😁

So pleased no one got ill!. Makes you wonder what on earth they put in those sushi packs to keep them preserved like that. Thank goodness, though, in this instance! Thanks for updating, I was wondering what had happened Xx

Glad to hear they’re ok !

Perhaps try to get some Silicol Gel from Boots or Holland and Barrett. It absorbs toxins in the digestive system and works quickly. Other than that, as other people have said, advise them to drink loads of water and let nature take its course.
Good luck..🤞

They were both absolutely fine, thankfully (OP updated a few posts previously).

Thank you for the update

Great news and so glad you let it follow its course- to all the call 111 & A&E merchants and those who live in terror of rice - remember how amazingly resilient our bodies are and PLEASE stop bothering the NHS about things that haven't happened. It's on its knees - every distraction has an impact

Just hope for the best, don’t panic, and it’s highly likely they’ll both be absolutely fine.

Science and bacteria dont care about cultures being wrong.

Food poisoning traced to improperly stored and cooked rice is a massive issue, even in reported numbers, in countries that eat rice that view western safety standards sceptically. With numbers known to be massively under reported on top.

We will stick with and teach basic science based food safety that objectively makes the country safer, not anti science attitudes that aren't really intellectually any better than being anti vax.
