Unrefridged packages of bacon got left out of my fridge after a cleaning.
around 20 or 22 hours before I noticed them.

How long are these sealed packages of bacon good for unrefriged? It's the
American style of sliced thin pork bacon that is about 3/4 fat. it's not a
ham type or back bacon or the Canadian style stuff they eat up here in
Canada. Just thinly sliced processed fatty bacon. is there enough fat in
this bacon to keep it good? Could it be used for baking? I hate to throw
out 5 packages of this stuff. $2.97 per package here in Toronto. If I can
use it in a casserole or the like most certainly will.

Or is it just for the garbage bin only?

There's enough sodium nitrite in the bacon to keep it from spoiling,
most liekly. I would fry it, and if it smelled bad I would throw it out
or give it to the dog. Your nose is a good enough indicator in this
case, but the smell may not be apparent until you cook the bacon.

(I think there is *very* little chance that it's bad. But if you eat it
and die, don't come crying to me about it ;-)

Best regards,
Bob

Bacon is partially preserved and doesn't spoil so quickly like fresh meat. I
would fry it all to medium done, place the partially cooked rashers in
zip-locs, and freeze... should be used before 3 months.
You can use up a lot in soups and by baking into bread... crumbled bacon is
great in pizza dough.

I've left out pizza overnight and eaten it the next day, did
not even put it in the oven, just left it on top of the
stove. I'm still alive, months/years after doing so, I dare
say that the bacon was frozen?

If you don't want it, I'll eat it. If you want my physical
address let me know.

I think it's safe to eat today, but it's overall shelflife has diminished
considerably.

Somewhere I picked up that 1 hour unrefrigerated is equal to 24 hours in the
frig or there abouts. In other words, for every hour something is
unrefrigerated that's one less day it will last refrigerated- or there
abouts. I'm sure there are lots of variables and exponential factors involved
*laughs*. Basically, I figure if it's been out of the frig for 6 hours that's
like a week in the frig and should probably be tossed or used immediately.

*cheers*

Sounds interesting. At some amount of unrefrigerated time you will
reach the point that the bacon should have been tossed before you
actually buy it.
