    Bin it. It’s been out for 2 days! You wouldn’t leave chicken out in your kitchen for 2 days.

    chicken and fish I would bin. The only thing I would consider refreezing or using is cake.
    Cake is deadly. I saw it on Brass Eye once.

    Thanks everyone, I binned it. Shame for the unopened stuff but I would prefer peace of mind then wondering if I will be ill in the next 24 hours after eating.
    Good decision I think.

    If it smells OK it'll be fine. If it doesn't smell ok then bin it.

    Sadly, that simply isn’t true. 

    In OP’s position, I’d have done the same. Not worth the risk for £25 saving.
