Egg salad left out for too long

Hi ladies, I'm 32 weeks pregnant and last week I bought Hema's Surinamese egg salad, ate it on a cracker, and then put the rest back in the fridge at work. Today I came back to work and ate the rest of the egg salad on my crackers. When I finished, I realized it had been open in the fridge for quite a while. After checking Google, it says to keep it for max 3 days after opening. It smelled and tasted fine though. Still, it's been bothering me.

    Not feeling nauseous? Not throwing up? No diarrhea?

    I totally get how you feel! But that “max. 3 days” label, like many expiry dates, is set extra conservatively. Because otherwise, you’d already know there are silly people who’ll leave it open in the fridge for a year and then complain when they get sick from it...

    So, do you feel okay? No worries! I’d say keep an eye on it until tonight. If you do end up feeling sick from it, you’ll notice that pretty much right away. Lots of hugs! I think it’ll be fine
