Our shelter feeds Purina Kitten Chow Nuture. I had a coupon for a dollar or two off of it and bought a bag to donate, along with some canned cat food and homemade toys for the dogs. Because our shelter is only open to the public for 4 hours a day and closed some days entirely, I didn’t drop it off right away. I meant to check their schedule online but got busy with back-to-school preparations. So, the bag of food has been riding around in my trunk for about 10 days and parked in my stuffy garage at night.
Is the food still usable? I’m sure it probably says to store in a cool, dry place, which obviously being outside is not. On the other hand, the trucks and warehouses probably aren’t climate-controlled either. Chewy deliveries sit outside all day sometimes, I’m sure. But this has been closer to 10 days, not just hours, and I don’t want to sicken any kitties. If it were a bag of food for my personal cats, I would open it and smell it to see if it seems off before feeding it. Any anecdotes or advice?
