ProudGrandma Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 SO, my daughter sent me a mother's day gift last week. It was some jellies, cheese and fudge from a little amish store near them. One of the jars of jelly was not sealed, but it looked and smelled just fine....would you eat it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other jar didn't even have a button, but the lid was on really tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Frog Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I wouldn't eat it. I would call and see if it could be exchanged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 If it was freshly home made, I would eat it. But a bought jelly won’t have that information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I'd call the store and ask them. I'd probably trust it though if it smelled okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I am normally pretty carefree about eating stuff others might question but I would not eat it. If it had been opened, it could have been exposed to bacteria that would feed on the sugar and multiply exponentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
