Are these safe to eat - left out in garage overnight?!


Question: Are these safe to eat - left out in garage overnight?
Last night I took a box of Jimmy Dean D'Lites breakfast sandwiches and a box of turkey bacon out of the freezer and accidentally left them out overnight in the garage. I guess the temperature would have been about the same as in a refrigerator (but I am not certain) since we're in Maryland and it's pretty cold right now. I put both boxes back in the freezer this morning as soon as I found them. Are they safe to eat or should they be thrown out?

Answers:

As long as you garage was under 40 degrees it fine. food that is frozen needs to be kept at 0 degrees for best freshness but as lon as it did not go above 40 you can still use them, preferably sooner then later. A garage is normaly 10 degrees warmer then the outside temp.



if they dont smell rotten they shoudl be fine. i would eat them. even if you left them in the garage over night and it was warm, the worst that would happen then would be diarhea. if you cannot smell a pungent smell coming from them, they are fine.



They should be fine, since it was pretty cool in the garage where they were. If it were 70 degrees...then that would be a different story. You should be ok to eat them.



As long as they were sealed then there is no reason why they would be bad.



They are fine
