Did you cook it? The danger isn't in the bacteria itself as you can kill it, the danger is in the toxins that the bacteria give of in waste, which you can't cook away. I think the saving grace was that it was sealed so nothing could get on or in. The only thing is how clean was it before it was sealed?

That being said, I would rinse it off, trim the outside and cook the rest up.

Yeah, but your generation was made from sterner stuff. Younger generations can barely eat bread because of all the gluten, whatever the hell that is.

The gluten is the good stuff. Ever had gluten free products? Yeah, the good stuff has obviously been removed.

We had to chase the lead paint chips we ate with something.

I ate raw egg, drank raw milk, ate undercooked meat....and lived to tell the tale.
