is this chicken safe to eat

not used to seeing this texture/color/don’t know if it’s cooked fully. i did not cook this, this is from a takeout order. am also not just worried about doneness but whether it’s normal for chicken to be this texture/color

Is the whole thing unusable or can I use a bit off the other end?

Admittedly, the butter has been in the fridge unused for a while. But that's the only spot. I know mold can penetrate deeper than is visible, but would it go all the way to the other end without any more being visible? I just need a tablespoon 😢

Salmon past date

Life got real life-y the last two weeks and my partner and I didn’t have time/bandwidth to cook like we had planned when we were grocery shopping. I just had to throw out a ton of stuff, is there any hope for this salmon? Can I freeze it? Cook it today/tomorrow and then freeze it cooked? The use-by date on the package is oct 02. I think we got it sept 26th 😬 it’s been in the fridge since then.

Update: I threw it out 🫡

Can of Tomato Paste w/ Holes in Inner Lining

Hey, folks.

I opened a can of tomato sauce and there was what looks like a hole in the inner lining of the can. There also was a small lump sitting at the bottom, which I assume is the missing lining.

I opened several cans after that and they all had holes in the lining. Some of the sauces had a darker color than others, but they all had these holes and clumps. Even from a separate batch of cans of the same brand (bought like a year apart), the newer ones also had the holes and clumps.

This can't be just a thing I have never noticed, right? I tossed all of it, but want to know if that was the right call. Would it have been safe to eat?

In the picture it is near the bottom of the can, but other cans have it in different places.

Edit: To add some of what the auto mod mentioned: It is Member's Mark canned tomato sauce. It has been stored at room temperature in my pantry. I bought the first ones 2 or 3 years ago. I bought the newer ones, like the one in the picture, about a year ago. I also realized I said paste in the title, but it is sauce.

bread bags that don't have chemicals and made from food safe material?

I am interested in looking for a bread bag recc's that do not have chemicals and things that could leach into the bread. I am wondering what kind of material the bread bag is made out of am looking for a bread bag that I can use to store and reheat bread without worrying about chemicals leaching into the food. There are so many different materials available, including plastic, silicone, cotton, and linen, but I am not sure which options are safest when exposed to heat. I would prefer something reusable that can withstand oven temperatures without releasing unwanted chemicals or affecting the taste of the bread.

Tallow good or bad?

Recently ordered this for delivery local as I ran out of my usual South Chicago Packing tallow from Costco. I haven’t experienced this look with any tallow I’ve used in the past. Is this separation? Is this a bad seal? It’s fat so unsure what separation there could be or how it could go bad honestly. The lid had tallow on outside and the label was coming off from tallow behind it leading me to believe the seal was faulty.

Edit: used this morning with eggs. Didn’t smell or taste bad. Just looked different from my usual so wanted to check with the public. Thanks.

Microscopic puncture hole in new milk jug.

Hi we are not going to drink this but I'm wondering how common this is or how concerned I should be.

We brought home a jug of new chocolate milk that was leaking from an invisible hole. We discarded it but we also have white milk from the same brand. It doesn't seem affected but now I'm wondering how to navigate making sure it isn't. We have kids and this chocolate milk was for them so this was alarming. Of course I see horror stories about this but mainly just want to make sure this isn't bad issue with the other groceries that might have gotten wet.

Thank you.

sausage from trader joes but the package looks like it’s gonna explode

I bought this a week ago but it says it’s good till the 7th. The packaging expanded like crazy and I have no idea why! Is it still safe to eat or is something wrong with it? Sorry if this is stupid I’ve just never seen this before

Accidentally left beef out overnight

I left this beef out to thaw last evening but forgot to put it in the fridge before I went to sleep.

Looks and smells fine, but I'm worried about it so I'm asking for your opinion.

For extra context: I had AC on all night, and I'm planning to cook it in a pressure cooker later today.

I left the pasta out overnight for 6 hours and yup, you really shouldn't eat that

Yesterday at night (from around 11 PM) I made some delicious pork with creamy mushroom sauce, and also made some pasta for it (especially as you want pasta water for your creamy sauce).

Being quite tired, I figured I'd "wait for it to cool down before I put it in the fridge", except that never happened. Or at least, not until 7 AM.

So from 0:30 AM => 7:00 AM, it was outside on the table, sauce in a frying pan, pasta in a box (but not fully sealed, just partially covered).

Ate a plate at 9:15 AM. Still a bit sick even at 9:15 PM.

Not gonna die or anything, but it's not worth being sick for a day for a single meal. Obviously I binned the rest, next time I'll be more cautious.

Why am I posting this? Because I did do some research that said 2 hours and 4 hours, but it doesn't seem like a lot of time on paper. But yes, those 6 hours are totally enough to ruin your pasta. You probably wanna trust that "uppermost 2 hours" mark for pasta, really.

May whoever stumble upon this with 6 hour overnight pasta just bin it rather than trying it out the hard way.

Steak purchased six days ago

Mostly okay looking with the tiniest amount of either slime or moisture. Smells mostly fine with like five/ten percent sour note, that could very well be red meat odor, I don’t usually sniff my fresh purchases. I think it’s probably fine but want Internet strangers to help validate me.

Giant brown spot on Pringles??

Hi so I was happily eating my cheddar Pringles when I saw this?? This Pringle has a big brown spot on it. It smells burnt and the brown is like a flaky layer on the top and bottom of the Pringle. I know it might just be burnt but I'm still weirded out and concerned. Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else? I threw the Pringle away and the one below it just in case but the rest of the can looks normal and I just wanna know if I'll be okay to eat the rest of them

Mold on stem of Butternut Squash, is it fine to eat?

Everything else is fine on the outside. Not squishy or anything at all

is this mold?

Homemade jelly from a friend. Not sure when they made it but they just gave it to me today. They've gifted me jelly in the past but it has not looked like this before
