TripleM 12 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I made some homemade chicken salad Friday evening (just boiled chicken, homemade mayo and celery). How long do you think that will keep? We usually eat it in just a day or two, but I have some leftover today (Wednesday). Do you think it's still good? Link to post Share on other sites
AmyS 3487 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'd eat it, but I am not a health inspector and I have the fridge to prove it. Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Strathdee 2914 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 My SIL is a microbiologist and says if it isn't stinky it's fine. With the fat to keep it from the oxygen, I'd say you're good for up to a week or until it looks too gross to eat (whichever comes first). Link to post Share on other sites
Jtandi 840 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm a smeller, too. it smells ok? I eat it.cooking all my own food has made me much more liberal with my "expiration" date! Link to post Share on other sites
christartist 57 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 My only concern is if you have difficulty with any molds...any food starts to break down after 24 hours. We had a daughter that had systemic yeast infection(all fungusi are yeasts/molds/etc.) and while many of the whole30 eliminated things were eliminated then because of the sugar, they were also eliminated because of the possibility of baceria/mold growth. If anything was left over...ANYTHING...we had to throw it out if we didn't use it within 24 hours. My son-in-law has gone to some sort of hazardous waste training - and he states 3 days.... If in doubt, throw it out....better than getting sick, eh? Just fyi, ymmv Link to post Share on other sites
