I didn’t worry about this till I looked it up online. Our electricity went out yesterday at 10 am. It came back on at 7:00 pm. We didn’t open it until this morning.
I figured because we didn’t open it and it was a cool breeze North San Diego County day, everything would be fine. I ate som leftover macaroni salad and some chicken salad for breakfast and had milk in my coffee. Everything was fine.
I looked it up online, fda & food safety. They advise discarding all perishable foods.
I have two Wagyu briskets, double vacuum packed stacked in back of bottom shelf. Pack date is 4/07. I was planning on wet aging 42 days, smoking and serving to my church group.
Now I’m worried. Do I need to toss them out? Should I smoke them this weekend and freeze till our church dinner? Might they be fine?
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

I unwrapped last night. No off odor whatsoever. Trimed, injected, this morning I rubbed & into smoke bath w/ hickory splits.
Pulled when I liked the color, plus the back was starting to get a little crisp.
Butter paper wrap w/ some Wagyu tallow and into the oven to finish.
