Okay so I am vegetarian, and sometimes I eat vegetarian "meatballs" made of veggie protein & soy, etc. My mom gave me some mixed in with homemade pasta sauce. On the box, it says to keep frozen until you eat them but I had them in the sauce in the fridge for the past 2 days. I didn't really think anything was wrong with this until *after* I ate them (just now). I'm worried bacteria could have grown on them since they were supposed to be in the freezer. This might be irrational though because I know almost all food is fine in the fridge for a couple days.
However, I did cook them and got them to a high temperature. I microwaved them on high for 1.5 minutes then brought the sauce with the "meatballs" in it to a boil on the stove in a saucepan before I ate it.
What do you guys think? Safe or no? Just let me know if I'm being irrational ASAP so I don't worry about this all night
