So basically I may or may not have

[CosmicCow09]

Left a package of frozen brine shrimp out all night and my school day, but I’m in a cool basement so I feel like they might be fine, they felt cold. Idrk like at all so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

( I have more fish foods I will feed for now but they love those)

If they were still frozen they are ok, but if they defrosted, chuck them and get new stuff.

 

[CosmicCow09]

that’s really unfortunate they definitely defrosted. But like not all the way, idk

Look at it this way. If you got some meat out of the freezer and left it to thaw all night and all next day at room temperature (not in the fridge), would you be prepared to eat it? If you wouldn't, then don't expect the fish to eat the brine shrimp.

If I cooked it yes, but not raw

Did you know that if you vacuum seal a steak, it will SUPPOSEDLY last 3 days out of the refrigerator and be completely safe to eat if cooked

That's because the bacteria can't get onto the meat and cause it to go off. It's the bacteria that causes meat to rot and smell bad. If it doesn't smell too bad and you cook it properly and kill all the bugs on it, the meat is usually safe to eat. But if it has a metallic taste after cooking, throw it away.

We went from brine shrimp to how to know if your steak is good...

This assumes zero bacteria on the meat before sealing...not likely

If you cook the meat and then vacuum seal it... That may do the trick... But anyways... The brine shrimp... I wouldnt use it, its just too risky

Not quite.
Bacteria is already present within the meat and it is this that will begin to break down the proteins and fats, as soon as it is given the chance.
Also, the meat's own enzymes will break it down and oxidation will also occur.

Now I can't help but be obsessed with the incongruous image of a Vampire with mange!
