FML can I still eat this?!

[sosurreal09]

I left like 8 1/2 punds of meat out on the dang floor last night, thinking I had put it in the fridge! It was out about 10hrs!

It was 6lbs of chicken leg quarters

1.5lbs grass fed chuck steak

and 1lb ground pork

I can't just throw that all away!

Will it be ok as long as it is cooked thoroughly?

Can I just freeze it now?

any precautions I need o take?

I wouldn't eat it. I might be a little more picky about food sanitation than most, I don't know.

Sorry.

Was it frozen when you left it out?

I would be iffy on the chicken if it was already thawed when out.

The beef wouldn't bother me, I always let beef steaks get to room temp before cooking. (as a disclaimer, I am pretty casual on this stuff, I do not ever get food poisoning despite being a slacker on meat food safety, but I know some people are more sensitive)

everything was fresh when I left it out! I got it at whole foods. The heat was on 65 over night.

10 hrs, room temp, not frozen to begin with... ummmm  I'd be tossing that , sorry

I'm sorry.  That really stinks.  I would toss it, unfortunately, because that is way too long for unhealthy bacteria to grow, IMO.
