Repost...Smoke came out of my fridge today

Turns out the fan belt blew but now all our food smells like smoke. If I clean the fruits and veggies is it safe to eat? Isn't smoke a carcinogen? Is the covered food still safe?

(I posted on Fams helping fams but not much traffic there...)

TIA

Personally, I would chuck everything out if I couldn't stomach the smell. If the smell wasn't too bad, I would probably only throw away soft or porous things like cheese...

Good Luck!

I dont know if I would eat it even if it was washed. Just to be safe I would toss it.

I wouldn't eat it, especially if you have little ones.

Maybe the salad dressings and things in containers would be okay.

I've dumped all open containers but so far haven't thrown out stuff like things in the freezer that are wrapped in plastic inside of a box.

What kills me is I just went came back from LI where I went on a shopping spree at whole foods (since there isn't one here). And then did a massive restocking of the fridge just the day before this happened.

AAARGH!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I could just soak the tomatos, apples and such in vinegar for 30 mins or so.....ugh. Maybe I just need to throw it all out. Chat Icon

ETA...actually today nothing smells like smoke anymore...Chat Icon
