A member asked:

My mom gave me 5 day old cooked ground beef that was in the fridge for those five days and that night i had diarrhea and the next morning she had too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Food poisoning: 5 days is usually a safe period to keep cooked meat in the fridge but if it was contaminated after cooking then it might make you sick 5 days later after bacteria have had a chance to grow. Food poisoning generally goes away in a day or 2. If not, or if having worrisome symptoms, seek medical care.
