I live in an apartment building. Another unit recently caught on fire, and the building was evacuated. Smoke was everywhere. No heat reached my part of the building. I have not seen any soot, either.

I tried googling it, but I haven’t been able to find a good answer that relates to things like chip packaging. They still have air in them, and the packaging doesn’t fully match the descriptions of what foods to throw away.

Are things like this ok to eat after smoke exposure, or should I throw *** every *** type of food out? Thanks in advance.

    Upholstery-soot ( the fire-removedent version of polyester, etc ), is evil smog/fumes.

    If your food was sealed-away from the smog/fumes, then it should be fine.

    I’m saying that after learning 1st-hand how evil upholstery-smoke is.
