Food Covered Under the Bed

Question

Is food that was under a bed that someone slept on, wrapped in a bag, inside a backpack, forbidden to eat?

Answer

Hello,

There is no need to be concerned about this, whether the food is covered or uncovered. See the Gilayon Azmera Leshimcha for the month of Elul 5782.
