Compact Refrigerators

I left a chicken burrito in my car for 5 hrs. Put it in the fridge when I got home. is it ok to reheat and eat

It was about 70 degrees outside. I know there's a risk involved but it's from taco del mar. Will properly heating in a microwave kill the harmfull bacteria?

  1. the food is already tainted. throw it out.
  2. It probably spoiled in the sun. Don't take the risk to eat it.
  3. I think it is fine. Five hours is not that long, when I used to pack a lunch I'd eat five hours later, and it had perishable things like cheese or eggs in it. That's happened to me lots of times. Just make sure it doesn't smell or taste strange. It doesn't matter where you cook it in, any high temperature will do. But if it had meat than I don't think you would want to eat it..
