Fell Asleep with Head on a Bag of Food

Question

If I fell asleep during a trip with a bag on my lap containing food/a bag of food, and my head was resting on it, is the food forbidden to eat like food that was under a bed?

Answer

Hello,

The food is not forbidden.

The prohibition applies only to food that is under a 'bed', not under a 'sleeper'.
