Eat it all,,, our freezer door was partly left opened all night and there was no ice left only dripping water but we left all the meat etc where it was and let it freeze over again, nothing wrong with it,, todays food has so many preservatives added to it that it will last for weeks.

To be frank, unless someone is living in an extremely hot country with no AC in the kitchen, I do wonder at any intelligent person asking this.

No wonder there is so much wanton waste of food in this country.

yes I would freeze what I don't use in the next couple of days and cook it straight from frozen. I wrap it in parchment paper so it is separate.
The yoghurt you will know if its off or not and eat accordingly.
We didn't used to have sell by days we just check to see if it was ok.

Freeze the bacon, take out the rashers you want one by one, greaseproof paper between each ‘rasher or two’ eat the youghurt on your breakfast cereal

Of course. Would have still been ok after 24-48 hrs.
Yogurts are lovely if partly frozen. I always put my Activia in the bottom of my freezer. Yummy.

Yes

harrigran Sun 20-Jan-19 09:08:41

Yes I would eat it.
When we were first married we didn't have a fridge nor did we have a larder with cool shelves.

DanniRae Sun 20-Jan-19 08:55:43

Yes I would eat it.
Who got the blame for leaving the fridge door open? shock

Of course. smile This happened to me once on Christmas Eve, because the fridge was too full of goodies to shut easily. We ate everything and lived to tell the tale.

Yoghurt is made in warm countries as a means of preserving milk without refrigeration. It'll be fine. The bacon will too.

BlueBelle Sat 19-Jan-19 23:11:58

But bacon and yogurt won’t go off in a day it doesn’t even have to be kept in a fridge it ll last a few days

How did our grannies manage with just a marble pantry shelf! It will be ok!

Bathsheba Sat 19-Jan-19 23:00:18

Yes I would. Platefuls of bacon butties for breakfast, what's not to like? grin

Tangerine Sat 19-Jan-19 22:39:35

Yes. Years ago people didn't even have fridges and I bet they ate bacon etc. that had just been stored in cupboards

Jalima1108 Sat 19-Jan-19 22:35:56

Yes.

Yogurt and bacon butties for breakfast, lunch and dinner smile

We're not in the middle of a heatwave at the moment and we used to only have cool larders.

Yes, well not the yoghourt I HATE yoghourt, but DH would eat it. He is the one I buy it for.

JoyBloggs Sat 19-Jan-19 21:27:11

Yes, I'd eat them, but in the next couple of days.

lemongrove Sat 19-Jan-19 21:24:11

Yes, but eat them soon.

POGS Sat 19-Jan-19 21:20:49

I would.

Carolina55 Sat 19-Jan-19 21:17:33

Yes

Went out to DD's today - left about 12, returned about 8 pm. Fridge door was not properly closed when I got back.

Bacon (in sealed packet) was not cold; lots of yoghurts felt only a bit cold. Rest of things I am not bothered about: hard cheese, eggs, veg etc.

Would you eat the yogs and bacon?
