ok for DCs to eat tuna pasta bake that's been left out overnight?

[migola]

cooked it about 9pm, and completely forgot to put it in the fridge until 8am this morning.

Do you think it's OK for DCs to eat (4 and 20m)? I'm going to eat it and have no worries there but not sure about DCs).

Assuming you don't run your kitchen like a sauna it's probably OK if you reheat it to the usual 'piping hot'. Sniff test to begin with...

Yes. Heat through thoroughly.

i am pretty laissez faire on food stuff (eg sell by dates etc) but i wouldnt eat anything that had been out all night- and definitely wouldnt feed it to my children, esp one as young as 20 months. assuming now you either did or didnt, i'd be interested in how it went!

well I ate it and I am fine - it had been left out but covered and house isn't very warm - decided against giving it to the kids though.
