The pack of pork I bought was leaky, and some of the juices soaked into a pack of flour.
I'm wondering if the flour is still safe to cook with.



What I'm thinking :



  1. The flour will be baked before eating, thus killing any bacterias.


  2. Flour is dry, not a suitable environment for the bacterias, they will be dead before I even use the flour in a week or two.


On the other hand, I don't want to get sick over a 1€ pack of flour.
Should I throw it away or is it safe to consume ?

  • I really think you answered your own question. The value of the flour is trivial compared to the risk. If you were looking at going hungry or losing a substantial supply, then exploring ways to save part of the pack might be an option, but that is really not the case it seems.

Throw it away, it's not worth risking health issues over such a cheap staple. While the flour was originally dry, the pork juice introduced moisture into it, providing a much better breeding ground for bacteria.



Your concern should not be (just) the bacteria, but also the much hardier toxins that they produce--those could easily give you food poisoning, and normal cooking times and temperatures are very unlikely to adequately destroy them.

    But the flour is not dry if it has pork juice. Pork juice is only good for 4 hours at room temperature.



    If only a small part is damp MAYBE you could just throw that out.
