    What would his marker read? "Succumbed to cornmeal explosion 2021". They'll be scratching their heads in that graveyard for centuries.

    Food can kill. And not just by eating it.

    Keep calm and try setting SCE to AUX.

    I not saying the article is false, just that I trust wikipedia about as far as I could throw them.

    From their website: Wikipedia is written collaboratively by largely anonymous volunteers who write without pay. Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles, except in limited cases where editing is restricted to prevent further disruption or vandalism.

    Just to add, I think the same about Snopes.

    Well, no odor, no critters, no discoloration. And no idea as to what occurred or why. All other bags in the container were fine. Now I'm going through all the stored flour type goods. So far, nothing. It's a mystery to me.
    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.

    We wouldn't let students use wiki as primary source or quotes from it. Peer reviewed journals or textbooks only.

    Speaking of methane, I remember kids in grade school lighting their farts.

    Fats in the meal might have started to go rancid from air exposure.

    Possibly some sort of anaerobic organism.

    I won’t recommend eating it either. There is most probably a pinhole leak somewhere and it let the O2 in which led to the bag inflating like a balloon, as you mentioned. Another factor could be - bad sealing. When you seal the bag, it’s recommended to make sure the bag lips are dry-cleaned to avoid any food rest that could prevent proper sealing. I’ve been using my Mylar Foil Bags and O2 absorbers and never encountered any issues so far. Since you mentioned that there was no odor or discoloration, it still might not be rotten, I would suggest throwing it away for your safety.
