Is it safe to consume microwaved Campbell’s chicken stock?
I often pour a bowl of frozen veggies and a cup of chicken stock (straight from those 1 litre boxes) in a bowl and microwave it for 12 minutes. It comes out fairly hot.
Is this safe to do? Or am I risking food poisoning by not boiling the chicken stock?
Best Answer
Aseptic packaging which is what the Swanson's and anyother brands products in those coated carboard-like packing 9a.K.a Tetrapaks) broth are safe. The aseptic processing has killed thhe harmful bacteria. So long as it was kept refrigerated below 40 deg F after opening it is still safe.
Your frozen veggies if notdefrosted then refrozen are safe.
Combining the two and heating in the microwave in a clean vessel is safe so long as you've not introduced bacteria from another source, your food is as safe as it is going to be.
