Pot stickers, cold but soft ok to eat?

LisaMofSLC — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 00:42:19 GMT

Hi I finally received my Perfect Potstickers 120 ct meat combo. The bottom bag had a mix of frozen and soft potstickers. The middle and top bags were pretty hard if not rock hard frozen. Are the cold but soft ones good to eat? I had read many reviews where people said the dry ice had melted (mine did too) and everything was warm or soft. Since even my softened ones were cold, think they'd be ok to eat? And will it be fine to just toss the bags into the freezer, softened ones that is. Thanks!

@LisaMofSLC If you had some soft potstickers, I would consider them all not edible. Ask for a refund.

I got mine 2 days ago and the ice was gone, but the potstickers were cold, so I just popped them in the freezer. If they were warm I would have tossed them and asked for a refund.

I think if they were still cold, I'd just put them in the freezer.

I received my order yesterday and same result - two bags completely frozen and one cold and a little soft. Unlike the David's cookie dough order that arrived warm and thawed, these were frozen and/or cold and will be just fine. I plan on sharing with my family and have no concerns they won't be safe to consume.

No way would I'd eat those, had food poisoning recently & what a miserable experience....when in doubt, throw it out. Get a refund & place another order.

I wouldn't take a chance and eat them. Freezing thawed product would make it worse. I would get another order or ask for a refund. I would want them frozen solid. Reconsider your decision.

@LisaMofSLC Return/refund....why take a chance especially with a meat product

@LisaMofSLC
I, too, agree that when in doubt throw it out. Ask for a refund. The Q is understanding in these matters. There is no way I would eat nor serve it to others.

Most directions on frozen products state once thawed not to refreeze.

A few years ago I got such a bad case of food poisoning that I was in the hospital for 5 days. It was from eating in a buffet restaurant. Needless to say, I don't eat in buffets any more, and that was preCovid.

If they were supposed to be frozen, I would definitely not eat them. Ask for a refund!!

Could I just ask any of you was this order the advance order date of 9/13 as all week my order veggie combo showed processing arrival date 9/17 nothing came. Did a chat that is another story couldn't even find the order number and heard after a long chat will be receiving next week,hope FROZEN for sure

Did anyone have problem with receiving their POTSTICKERS for the delivery week of 9/13 or just me,sure can't blame UPS.

I also ordered the Veggie Combo potstickers for delivery week of 9/13. My order was due to arrive on 9/17, but as of today, it's still listed as "in process". Hopefully they'll actually arrive frozen when & if they do show up.

Thanks for taking the time to answer ,as I now see someone else that ordered veggie combo didn't receive theirs.Even the chat gave me no answer of why or when.

I think they could had let us know by changing the date of estimated delivery,or even an email, saying there is a delay in your shipment then I wouldn't had been watching for the UPS truck,as wanted to get them right into freezer as we are still warm .

I had the same experience! Called C/S for a refund, and since I'm on A/D (to be shipped on Dec 13th), I said I'd wait 'til then 'cause it'll be cold around here at that time.

I asked why this constantly happens: I'm afraid to order anything containing meat, fish, poultry 'cause it always arrives warm/unfrozen stating why can't they improve the shipping, i.e., either faster/better packing. The rep told me I should order so it's sent out at a different time - duh!

I was beginning to think this only happened to me. Now, readying this thread, I see it's many of us. Perhaps the PTB and/or vendor should work together to rectify the situation,

If they're supposed to be shipped and received frozen and are not, I'd ask for a refund and toss in the garbage. I wouldn't even try to use them. If you charged them on your credit card, you can dispute the charge and explain the problem. And, I certainly would not order them again.
