I bought 1kg chicken legs, 1kg chicken drumsticks and Tesco reduced fat pork sausages yesterday afternoon and forgot to take them from the car until midday today. All sealed packages but do you think they'd be ok? I usually freeze them.
Wouldn't risk it myself, the evenings have been dangerously warm (for bacteria growth).
Take the loss on the chin and be safe![]()
If the chicken is spoilt, no amount of cooking will make it safe to eat.This is the issue, the bacteria.
Yes, you could probably cook it and kill it off but you'd have to cremate them I think![]()

Nope, pork is too much of a risk.Ok thanks guys. The chicken does pong so I've binned them.
The sausages however smell perfectly fine, almost odourless and what odour there is is just the same as fresh. What do you think, keep?
Sausages would be safer as they have a high salt conent and a large proportion of UK bangers have nitrates in them. Not conductive to bacterial growth. I kept sausages in my DoE back pack for three days marching round the Welsh countryside and ate them waiting for the coach home with no harm.
But as said above, not worth the risk.
