I bought it in the late morning and I forgot it in the cab of my truck for about seven hours on a day that saw temperatures reach the mid-60s. It's been in my freezer for a couple of days now, but should I just toss it? Or do you think it's safe to eat since it's not real meat? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.109507 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:39:21 -0800 fakesausage spoiledfood NoMich http://ask.metafilter.com/38833/Good%2Deatin%2Dor%2Dlurking%2Dhorror How long is it safe to keep <b>cooked</b> shrimp in a refrigerator before eating? I bought them on Monday and thought I'd eat them that night, but fell asleep early. Tuesday I wasn't home. Now it's Wednesday and they still look pretty good. Is it safe to eat them? (total time since leaving the display case: 51 hours)<br> <br> My refrigerator is on the cold side but I don't know exact temperature. Milk usually lasts a little beyond the expiration date. The shrimp were not unrefrigerated for more than half an hour (straight from the store to the refrigerator). If they smelled bad I wouldn't eat them even if I had bought them moments before. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.38833 Wed, 24 May 2006 15:09:00 -0800 refrigerator safetoeat seafood shrimp spoiledfood ducksauce
