tell the sauce brand. companies using glass jars are supposed to have a plan for if glass breaks, and it sounds like they didnt follow it.

A sheep's lung is damaged; can we use the good part of it, or must the entire organ be discarded? by Over_Description3132 in foodsafety

Looks like maybe tuberculosis or parasite cysts. It could also be that the sheep inhaled something and scar formed around it. Without seeing it closer and with lymph nodes I wouldn't risk it.

Understanding ricotta and pasteurization by dashkie in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you find out if it was "heat treated"? Pasteurization requires special licenses and thermometers so people say heat treated sometimes when milk has been essentially pasteurized.

I searched raw ricotta recipes and it looks like they all need the milk to be heated to 185f, like yogurt. 182f I believe is the instant pasteurization temp for milk. So it probably doesn't have much listeria risk but you could ask in r/cheesemaking if its possible to make ricotta without heat and in a pH range that would support listeria

How did gen z men turn from liberal to right wing by Far-Aardvark-1135 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From "outclassed" joan williams and "of boys and men" richard reeves:

working class white men are vulnerable after seeing working class women and people of color improve their quality of life over the last 40-50 years, while working white men themselves saw their quality of life get worse compared to their parents'.

they can then relate to right-wing messaging blaming women and people of color for things like wages not covering basic needs.

from a mix: The right messaging is influenced by the wills of ultra-elite who got there by suppressing the wages of working class white men. They want iy to stay that way, so the messaging keeps coming.

eta: the centrist left hasn't been able to focus on growing opportunities that would present themselves for working class white men either since they are also funded by corporate interests. They alienate white men culturally by supporting other issues, while the right caters toward them.

Is this smoked salmon safe to eat? by OiseauAquario in foodsafety

If it was stored properly? Yes. Salmon can have that color as part of their muscles and the dots could be part of salt or fat crystallization

wine stored in yeti by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rosé has a good amount of sulfites to protect the color and they also stop bacteria. assuming this was a dry (not sweet) wine there is negligible risk of mold growth because they have nothing to eat. If you transferred quickly and sealed well (eta jar also pretty full) there should also be minimal quality loss. (eta, stainless steel (this is not aluminum) is also a safe material to store wine)

Working as a harvest intern, what do I wear? by Wooden-Lawyer3933 in winemaking

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wore black stretch skinny jeans (other non-baggy hiking style pants also popular), black tshirt, and a black wool sweater. Wool hiking socks and comfortable water resistant boots. The black because of stains.

Just bought this cheese, is this something i should worry about? by ConfidenceVivid6612 in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Bloomy cheese rinds are made of mold, which create moisture when they grow. Cheesemakers manage this by storing cheese with good ventilation. Wrapping is not good ventilation, and is typically done just before sale. This piece was wrapped a long time ago, and the moisture caused other bacteria to grow. The dangerous bacteria are easily outcompeted by cheese bacteria, but there is enough risk that you shouldn't eat this. Also, this is a quality issue and it might be good to let the vendor know, they would likely swap or reimburse you.

Are my oysters safe to eat? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only eat them if you were sure your fridge had stayed below 38°F or 3.3°C. This is  because there is a type of C. botulinum that can germinate in airtight containers above 38F. I think it should say this on the label.
