AIBU to cook raw meat that's had a fly on it...

[Annabel7]

It was covered but obviously not well enough. Sausages and pork fillets. Don't know how long the fly was in there. Would you, could you, should you? Don't want to make anyone ill but seems a waste of a meat. Not sure if the cooking will get rid of any bugs... Help - need to get dinner on in an hour.

Ok, ok. Point taken. By the same token, it's just a question.. A quite valid on in my mind. If a health inspector went into a restaurant and saw flies crawling over raw meat, don't you think they'd have a few concerns? Honestly?

Flies crawling all over raw meat in a restaurant yes.

One fly on your meat in a kitchen...ain't nothing to get in a flap about. Tbh meat is disgusting and full of bacteria, a fly isn't going to doom you to singing frozen on the bog at one in the morning.

If I saw lots of flies crawling over raw meat in a restaurant - yes, I would have concerns. Germy, egg-laying concerns.

Your OP, on the other had did not say that. Your OP said A (singular) fly landed, you don't know for how long.

There is a difference.

on the other HAND

Ok. Fine. Anyway, off to cook up the pork fillets now. Have a good evening all...

I'd check it for eggs.
