[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. No way I’m eating food on Friday that’s been sitting in the fridge since Sunday. Disgusting.[/quote]
Wait, you eat your entire fridge every week?  Like you buy celery, carrots and lettuce and if it’s still there 5 days later you refuse to eat it?  No wonder there’s so much food waste in this country…[/quote]

DP. I assume they meant they aren’t eating food that was cooked 5 days ago.

I toss any cooked leftovers after 4-5 days. Usually there isn’t anything left at that point anyway. [/quote]

Pp here with issues around food safety eating 5-7 day old food. I think my concerns are specifically around leftovers containing rice, pasta, and meat. We don’t eat leftover rice or pasta beyond the 24 hour mark due to food safety concerns. The example you gave was a roast chicken lasting you 5-6 days and that does gross me out and I do believe it creates food safety issues, even if handled carefully and recooked. Cooking does not make all foods safe. There are bacteria that can give off toxins that cannot be killed with heat and that can cause food poisoning.

Frozen food stops the clock in my mind, provided it was frozen promptly.

It’s all good that people do things differently and maybe your families have guts of steel so nothing bad happens.[/quote]

Italia is literally weeping (or laughing) at your statements that rice and pasta create a safety concern after 24 hours. Where do you think arancini comes from? Suppli? Fritelle di spaghetti?  [/quote]

Barilla says pasta should be refrigerated and eaten within 2 days of cooking:
