Is a 2 day old tuna sandwich safe to eat?

oxygen_old

I left it in the office fridge Friday, ate out. Today however I have no lunch, and kinda fancy a tuna sandwich.
Does two day old tuna make you sick? I made it Thursday night, it on brown, and it’s the tuna from a can, with mayo and sweet corn mixed in.

No.

Its a well known fact that Tuna becomes lethal if not consumed 48 hours after being put in a sandwich.

Eat it, its grand. I've eaten tuna sandwiches that have been left lying for months on end. Not a bother.

Enjoy

Is the office fridge working properly? If so, the sandwich might be ok. Bear in mind though that if it isn't ok you could be really ill with food poisoning. Is it worth it?

Judging by the fairly severe reaction of most of the posters, I'm going to say no, its not worth it. I will probably just bin it.

Thanks for advice guys.

Ah eat it, it's fine.

No. That's 3 days also, by the way. Assuming you made it Friday morning before work, it's been about 75 hours. I wouldn't eat tuna after 24 hours, tbh.

All right. Here we go, Im going to eat it. If I comedown suddenly ill over night due to it, Ill post back up here. Fingers crossed.

6 hours later, feeling ok. Panic wasnt necessary.

Food poisoning generally takes 12 - 48 hours to present. Just FYI.

haha, no I had a particularly busy day yesterday.

Feeling fine, no ill effects. So there ye have it, three day old tuna sandwiches are safe. Go ahead and eat with reckless abandon.

4 Yes 4 No, and I was one of the 4 No.
Looks like the Yes' got the vote victory, but the No's got the actual victory.

Told ya so

I'm a chef and I say this.

I wouldn't serve it to anyone else but I'd have no problem eating it myself.
