Letting frozen food heat by sunlight

So, when I'm in a money crunch I buy these 38 cent bean and cheese frozen burritos and eat one for lunch at work every day. They are only 7g of fat so i dont feel too terrible about eating them. One day, however, I forgot to put the burrito in the freezer at work and let it sit in my car. I let it stay in my car til lunch and realized it was really warm and decided to eat it. It tasted fine and now I have done it about 5 times without any issues. Is this safe lol?

    I don't see any harm if it was precooked. It's different from leaving plastic bottles in a hot/warm car. Allegedly, this is cancerous.

    Some beans are indeed toxic when raw, but it would be criminally negligent of a food manufacturer to not use fully-cooked beans in burritos intended to be merely warmed in the microwave before eating.

    I'd be concerned about several things if I ate a 38¢ burrito, but leaving it to defrost and warm in a car for a few hours wouldn't be on that list.

    unfortunately no its not safe the reason is the time that its thawed but under 140 degrees allows bacteria to proliferate. Plus it takes ten minutes of boiling temp to destroy preformed botulism toxin. please let it thaw in a refrigerator nuke it to boiling temp and let it rest and cool before eating. you are flirting with disaster. Odds are good you will get staphylococcal food poisoning and you will vomit after about three hours after eating then vomit the rest of the day until about midnight when the shitting begins. your will think you are dying but you wont , you will wish you were dead. then it just stops and your completely cured. All that for 38 cents. thats if you dont go to the emergency room. If you have good insurance they will put you in ICU on life support and induce a coma so you cant remember anything. If you are female you get a vaginal exam by the er doctor and one by the admitting doctor and then any specialist that visits you in that coma. just hope they wear gloves and wash or that burrito will turn into an STD

    It should be fine because most of the food is processed and fake so that shouldn't matter but it can bbe hazardous

      In other words, no self-respecting microbe would want to eat a 38¢ burrito.

      unless they have faked the beans, I can definitely see beans in it, however the cheese is not clearly seen so I am guess they have some kind of processed mixture

    It should be fine if you only give it enough time to thaw.
