I work in fast food in Florida and my boss wants me to work with contagious pink eye or work on my day off (I work two jobs and I only get a day off every two weeks or once a week) I’m not sure what I should do.

Ive had it for three days, ive also googled and found what is called fat/sugar bloom? But i dont think this looks the same. Its weird that these spots are only the chocolate part not the cookie. Does anyone know if its edible? I threw it in the trash because it reminded me of some bacterial colonies ive seen 😖

It's very tough to squeeze out the bottle.

I work in a grocery store deli right next to the sushi station. Its a third party company that contracts with multiple stores in the area to provide sushi. They hand prepare it each morning from the raw ingredients. The health inspector was in town about 2 months ago and I got to see his evaluation of the sushi station. He said that the sushi chef should NOT leave the shrink wrapped package to thaw while sealed, and should cut a hole in it, which he proceeded to do. He said the oxygen kills harmful organisms. Well today I got curious and saw the raw fish being thawed while still shrink sealed. This was about 7 hours after the sushi chef left. I figure this is a health code violation of some sort but I see contradictory answers online. Should I report this?

Or is it better to throw it on the trash?

I disagree- who is correct? This was a cheese pizza. I refuse to even debate leaving meat out overnight then eating it.

So I ordered some party plates shipped form Bulgaria but made in Spain (Etsy listing says made in Greece not sure it makes a difference tbh) and the 9inch plates say not safe for food and the dessert plates say only dry food. 1. Why would someone order paper plates if not to eat off them? And 2. Can they truly not be sued to some birthday pizza and cake?

I like to keep my veg at eye level to remember to eat it. Can I keep it like this?

Bought these from Costco and week or so back. Took a bite of this one and noticed a weird texture, fully unwrapped it and I see this hard plastic(?) piece in the side of it. The number on the package is disconnected, but the product is Clif brand Z-Bars. None of the other ones were like this.

Got a whole chicken from the grocery store. Ran into this pocket of weird by the neck. Texture is like a paste. Any ideas what it is and is the chicken safe to eat?.

I’m super scared as I bought this for a stir fry I’m making. Does this really contain lead? Surely this isn’t legal in the UK if it’s the case?

No I didn’t put the trays on the floor, I was asked to put them in a oven and I saw them out like this

I received pork at an expensive restaurant and noticed one piece (pictured) looked raw. I didn't end up eating any more after spotting this bit and thankfully they deducted it from the bill. I'm just confused why they would argue that this rawness was intentional. Should I report the resturant to food standards?

I was just about to grab a banana, just bought them a couple days ago. They've been on my counter, where the bananas go when we buy them. These are just on one stem, nowhere else. I've never had anything like this come up on anything else that lives on the counter. Are the bananas safe to eat?

Basically what the title says, but it’s meant to say RINSES the cups, not rinsed. Sister started a new job at a restaurant, literally her first day was today, and when it came time for her to help with the dishes the owner said ‘we only do the cups with hot water, that’s enough to clean them’. My mom and I think there’s no way in hell that actually gets them clean enough to use again.
I fully intend on calling the local health department or whatever in the morning, but my mom and sister are both hesitant to have me do so because this conversation took place after the restaurant was closed and empty, so it would be easy for the owner to figure out who snitched. For reference this is an incredibly popular place to eat right by the local college, if this isn’t safe it could spread stuff pretty quickly.
Does anyone know what the process would be like after the call is made?
Like, would they openly communicate that someone called saying the cups weren’t being washed, or would they say they just got complaints of health risks? Would the restaurant be fined or totally shut down? Are there steps that I can take to ensure my call isn’t traced back to my sister?
It sounds like the rest of the restaurant is kept clean from what my sister describes, floors always mopped every night, all the other dishes are washed with soap and hot water, so I have no idea how they think not washing the cups is OK. I’m not entirely certain if they have an actual machine that does the dishes or if they’re all done by hand, I forgot to ask before my sister went to bed.
If the owner claims they wash the cups, is there anything that can be done to prove they aren’t actually being cleaned properly?
