Food Contamination

Today for breakfast I picked up breakfast at my work cafeteria and ate a belvita snack pack. After I finished the food I noticed there was a little tear, and it had an opening in the package. I’m super worried that bacteria, like listeria, could possibly get in and contaminate the food. Am I being to paranoid or is this nothing to worry about?

If you feel sick, then it was a problem. If you feel fine, it was fine. I don’t think processed foods like granola bars have a high risk of listeria. Use common sense, but I don’t think you have to worry too much about that. Wash your veggies (higher risk of listeria), cook your food properly, and store your leftovers properly.

I'm sure you are just fine. That stuff is so processed that it ut virtually be impossible for it to go rancid.  

I would be more paranoid about some one tampering with it.

Then again, I would let it roll off my shoulder.
