My power went out for about 20 hours today, from 1am to 9pm. I'm wondering if the food in my refrigerator and freezer are spoiled.
Here's some info:
High temperature was about 100F outside, but only reached 90F inside. Fridge and freezer had no power the whole time, but I didn't open them at all while the power was out.
The items I'd be concerned about:
Fridge: Milk (opened), eggs, cheese (pre-packaged, but opened), bacon (opened)
Freezer: sausage, ground beef
Actually, the ground beef stayed frozen, but the sausages are now soft.
Left to my own accord, I'm inclined not to throw anything out, but I figure I should check with the experts on this site first...
