Hubby accidentally gave the kids the wrong spaghetti sauce?!
I had two tupperwares with sauce in them in the fridge, one was from last night and the other one was from a week ago!.!.the one that my hubby fed the kids was from a week ago, this one had no meat in it thank GOD! I was out running errands and told him to give them the left over spaghetti for lunch so he had no idea and I completely forgot there were two in there!.!.!.Are the kids gonna be ok since it was a week old!? Im really worried!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
A week isn't that bad if your fridge is working properly!. Tomato sauce is also very acidic and that alone acts as a preservative!. If it was commercial sauce, they put a lot of preservatives and even more flavor enhancers that are made from ingredients that are high in sodium (tomatoes also have sodium too)!.
I wouldn't be worried unless it was two weeks or more!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They will be fine don't sweat it!. My boyfriend did the same thing once, I told him to make spaghetti for dinner so it was ready by the time I get home from work, & instead of using the new jar in the cabinet he used the already opened jar in the bottom of the fridge that was like a month old!!!! I didn't notice till my plate was clean! And absolutely nothing happen to either one of us!. :) Don't sweat it :>Www@FoodAQ@Com
I've grown up in organizations and clubs, where food was consumed long after a week!. I've yet to meet a spaghetti sauce, which will spoil in a week, especially when covered and refrigerated!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
There is nothing you can do about it now!. Most likely nothing will happen!. I assumed he heated it before he gave it to them!.
If they develop vomiting and diarrhea consult your doctor!.

As long as the food was stored in refrigeration and there was no mold on it there shouldn't be a problem!. Even if it was moldy or otherwise spoiled, the most your children would probably get is a stomach ache!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
if you have a really cold fridge i wouldn't worry about it too much!. just keep an eye on the children and if they start throwing up or running a fever take them to the ER asap!Www@FoodAQ@Com
All is well!. They children will be fine!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
