Can you get ill from eating uncooked refried beans?!


Question: I just ate some refried beans out of the can, without heating them up, and I feel a bit sick. I'm wondering if it's because I didn't heat them up? (although I do know they're precooked). And also I'd just opened the tin and it was still within the best before date.

Very unlikely the beans made you sick if the can was intact (no dents or swelling). I think it was either a coincidence or you have made yourself sick by thinking you might be.

I assume you mean un-heated. The fact that they are refreid means they have been cooked.

You can get sick from anything out of a can if bacteria was introduced into the can especially from dented cans. Heating to a proper temperature MAY get rid of it though. Although in this case, you didn't heat so.....

why wud u do that

You can get sick from eating any food that is under cooked.

maybe

Don't you just love mysteries
