I was eating this dip when I noticed these fibers. There are hundreds of them. It doesn't look like stretched cheese or chicken. They don't break easily.

Does anyone know what these fibers are?

Post locked - plz message if you have advice!!

Cooked yesterday on grill by a friend, internal temperature was never checked. Sat on counter for 30-40 minutes before going in fridge.

I packed for my lunch today and reheated in microwave.

It wasn’t until I had already eaten most of it that I looked down and noticed how pink it was… convinced myself it was fine and kept eating.

Showed these photos to coworkers who said I should not have eaten.

What to expect? Likelihood this doesn’t end well for my stomach or toilet? Hahaha

I love this weekend and have the busiest work week ever.

Anything I can do now?

Saw that slime stuff as I was eating my sandwich is it safe to consume?

noticed all this black powdery stuff on my new box of great value walmart saltines it’s on most of them but not all? anyone have any ideas i’ve already eaten plenty lol

Was sitting at my counter eating lettuce from this container when a thought occurred to me: is lettuce clean? According to google, lettuce is generally not considered clean when purchased, and it’s best to wash and dry all lettuce in a salad spinner, even prepackaged “triple washed” lettuce. Is this really necessary, and if so, why?

Looking back at the container in front of me I can see that it clearly states “no need to wash” on the front, but now I’m not so sure. I found a small fly in this lettuce the other day, which isn’t unheard of but still it got me thinking, maybe I should’ve been washing it this whole time?

I slow cooked some chicken gizzards of various sizes. There were some large ones that still came out relatively firm after 5hrs of cooking. I decided to cut them into slices and put them back in the oven to tenderize them a little more. One of the larger ones wasn’t just fibrous but had “stuff” inside it. What is this stuff and should I scoop it out and discard it?

Hi I’m new here. My family member was gifted a ham since this person works at a food bank.

I’m being instructed to cook it but I notice the ham looks weird. I’m not sure though since I don’t eat meat, so I’m not used to what it should normally look like.

Some parts had meat juice inside and a little slimy in other areas.

Also the ham was refrigerated and sealed the entire time but it’s past its use by date of 7 days. Plus this product says there’s no preservatives.

I really have no idea about this situation. Please advise. They want to feed the dogs some of this as well.

does this look like mold on the prickly things? it just got ripe today. and if it is why does this happen to every pineapple i get from walmart. it always molds from the bottom up. or whatever that is. the mold was on the bottom before it even got ripe.

I only noticed this on the bottom of canned tomatoes after I poured it into my dish. Is this a dent to worry about or considered unsafe, considering the location? The smell is almost metallic/acidic, but I can’t tell if it’s the fact that it’s tomatoes or due to bacteria from the dent

Are those white spots bacterial colony? Unopened smoke salmon expiring next week.

Stacked them face to face in the fridge for only a day and they have this mark on them??? I really don’t want to go to waste. Please help.

when i moved back home for college i poured an unopened bottle of rosé wine into my yeti water bottle to hide from my parents. its been a month is it safe to drink?

the original wine had a cork in it. the water bottle is aluminum inside. it was kept in my room, room temperature

Got this antipasto platter delivered today (19th May) on my food shop from Asda, the use by says 1st May. Surely there’s no way there would be back stock from that long ago on the shelf still? Is it possible it was printed wrong? I had a slice of salami before I noticed and it didn’t taste or smell bad. I’m guessing I should probably throw it away🥲 But is it possible that it’s still okay to eat?

I've opened 3 tangerines from the same bag and they all have these brown fuzzy stuff and some brown beads in the middle. I have eaten a lot of tangerines in my lifetime, and they never have this brown thing. FWIW, the tangerines don't have any visible damage on the outside. They smell normal.

I've heard about endoxerosis. Is this that? Or is it mold?

It smells the fine/the same. The seal wasn’t broken that I could tell
