Usually says on the packet eat within 2 or 3 days.

It was opened a week ago and has been in the fridge in tupperware,

I am just in from work, starving and want to eat it but don't want to be ill!

Thanks.

Yes, I would eat it. Especially if it's been in the fridge and in a sealed container.

If you're going to grill or fry it, that should get rid of any nasties that might have grown on it since the pack was opened

Jem, glad it was ok for you.

There is a thread about food safety, so I have added your thread to that one to keep all the information together

Thanks

Haven't opened it yet to give it a sniff, but what do you reckon????? Do I risk it??? Not for kiddies, ofcourse.

I would open it, sniff it and and see. Its smells off don't eat it. Just make sure its cooked properly.
I've done it a few times and we've never suffered from food poisoning yet.

It's Rose, which we don't drink, we had it for OH's stepdad and it's going in a casserole tomorrow.
A white wine box wouldn't survive a weekend here:beer:
