Hi foodie folks. So, I ordered a pack of frozen cinnamon rolls from Nutrisystem. They come packed in a styrofoam box with dry ice. They never notified me that they had shipped and when I checked my front porch today, there it was. The dry ice was gone and the cinnamon rolls were at room temperature. They were probably there for a few days and it's been in the 70s here. Should I just put them in the freezer and forget it or is there a bacteria problem I don't know about. They are individually packaged if that helps. Any opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.
I'd contact the company and request that they be replaced.
This. (Actually, I'd contact the company and ask that they cancel my membership because that stuff tastes like **** and is so processed that it's scary. And I eat ANYTHING.)
I wouldn't re-freeze or eat ANYTHING that had been previously frozen and then been sitting thawed out at 70's temps for a few days.
As others suggested you could try asking to have them replaced. But I'm thinking you might have problems there because it might not be their responsibility if you didn't advise them that there would be nobody there to receive deliveries of food. Was that company required to notify you when your shipment would be delivered? Were you by any chance required to let the company know that you would not be home to receive deliveries for several days?

I'm just curious - were you indeed away from home for a few days and just returned today? Otherwise, if you were at home all along, I don't understand (and they won't either) why you would neglect to check your porch every day for deliveries of food or why you would not assign somebody else to be responsible for taking in deliveries for you in your absence when you are expecting deliveries.
My first gut feeling is that anybody who can afford to order cinnamon rolls packed in dry ice can afford to blow off the loss of a spoiled shipment. But that's not the question.
Prepare the rolls as per normal, and use the senses you wee born with (sight, smell, common) and judge whether to eat them or not. They probably contain enough preservative chemicals that you could leave them out in the hot sun and rain for a week, and they'd still be fine.
Thank you all. They will replace them as they didn't notify me of the shipment as they were meant to do. I just wondered if I could eat 1 or 2 before the new ones get here. PS - They're delicious, the only thing I buy from them anymore. Quick handy breakfast.

Thanks again.
glad they are replacing them for you. I would not have eaten them if they had been siting in 70 degree weather for a few days.
Since cinnamon rolls can sit out on the counter (like most baked goods ), they are probably ok to eat.
That's kinda what I thought, but I wasn't sure. The replacements have already arrived. YUM!
