My area was finally cleared last night to return and I've come home to a puddle of frozen fruit/blood at the foot of my refrigerator.
I'm guessing that power was out from Friday morning to Tuesday afternoon and my food has been stagnating in the fridge for at least 4 days, with the doors being closed and retaining cold for maybe 24 hours over that period. Unfortunately, I had just made a Costco run a few days earlier and I fear most of isn't safe to keep.
What of the following should I throw out?
Freezer:
1. New, sealed bag of frozen chicken breasts
2. Half rack of raw ribs
3. Bag of raw sliced beef
4. New, sealed bag of frozen mango chunks
5. Two bags of frozen mixed berries
6. Four bags of frozen veggies
7. Self-wrapped raw salmon fillets
8. Frozen raw meat dumplings
9. T-bone steaks
Fridge:
1. Tupperware of slow-cooked ribs
2. Fifteen eggs
3. Multiple pots of Greek yogurt
4. Box of spring mix salad
6. Old jar of Cheez Whiz
7. Box of macaroni salad
8. Vacuum sealed pre-cooked ribs
9. Butter & Margarine
10. Box of grapes
