Bought smoked salmon four hours ago and it’s in my shopping bag

[TheFUNword]

Safe to eat or chuck? On my way home now

In this heat i wouldnt the guideline for buffet food being out of a fridge is 3 hours

I wouldn’t in this weather sorry

Is it in a sealed packet? If so absolutely fine.

Smoked salmon is salted, so I’d say yes. Our work cafe keeps smoked salmon out for 4 hours during the week.

If it's vacuumed packed and not been opened, I'd eat it. if it's been exposed to the air, I wouldn't.

Chuck it, it’s not worth the risk.

It’s cured and smoked, it is fine. No wonder there’s such a massive amount of food waste in the UK, my god!

I’d eat it!

it'll be fine.

I’ll eat it!

It’ll be absolutely fine. It’s preserved by the curing and smoking.

I'm with @TeddyIsaHe

there is a reason it is smoked! As long as it hasn't been sitting open on a plate in full sunshine or 4 hours it will be fine.

Sealed, absolutely fine. Just gobble quick!

Yep I’d eat it

It's fine

Eat it. It’s OK. Get a cool bag and ice blocks to take shopping when it’s hot.

I regularly take a packet to work with a box of salad and it’s out of the fridge up to six hours before I eat it. I’m still here!
