It depends on the type of food and how severely it was contaminated. It is best to check with a food safety expert for specific advice. Generally, if the food is something that can be cooked further, like grains or vegetables, you could probably safely proceed and re-heat the food. If the food is a raw food like meat or fish, you may want to discard it. Additionally, if there is any chance that cross-contamination might have occurred by contact with the surface the food came into contact with, such as a kitchen surface or dish, discard it. Otherwise, you may still be able to use the food if it does not appear to be spoiled.
