Does a turkey sandwich go bad if...

[Asharus]

...it sits at room temp for 7 hours? I forgot to stick it in the fridge and I would like to eat the other half when I get home.

 

[guyver01]

put some day-old mayo on it to kill the bacteria.

 

[spidey07]

I always give it a good sniff and eat it.

 

[tweakmm]

Was there mayo on it?

 

[minendo]

7 hours is a long time. At exponential growth cycle occurring approximately every 15 minutes, you could be in for a good time.

I'm assuming you use the same technique for women. :beer:

Yes there was, but very little. Serious answers only please, but I did get a cackle out of the sniff/woman convo.

we frequently leave sandwidtches out at work. Some times 5-6 hours at a time (leftovers from meeting)

I munch on them.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Pop it in the freezer for a while, just so that you're not eating warm mayo.

 

[KEV1N]

There's only one way to find out!

 

[Ikonomi]

There's a 50/50 chance I'd eat it. I dunno. Seven hours is a long time. Though I did eat 15 hour old pizza for breakfast.

 

[Asharus]

Ok I just got the munchies and just chomped it down. Was still good to me, but only time will tell...

Edit: It was sitting for about 5 hours at time of consumption.

Are we going to see a thread like: "YAMedicalT: Serious food poisoning! I think I'm bleeding inside my chest."?

Cool.

Just don't let me catch your next thread titled "My stomach hurts and I feel like I'm gonna die! What should I do?"

LOL

[tweakmm]

I dunno how I feel, if there was no mayo I'd eat it, but what is a turkey sandwich without mayo? 7 hours is borderline for me, I certainly wouldn't eat anything that's been sitting out for longer.

 

[AvesPKS]

Yeah, whatever. I regularly leave food out for 12 hours at a time.

 

[cyclistca]

I don't know but I left a full carton of milk out for 10 hours. It was ok.

 

[episodic]

Any meat that is left at room temp will double it's bacteria content every 4 hours.

Go from there . . .

 

[Geekbabe]

A turkey sandwich would never last long enough around here to need to ask that question

 

[Asharus]

I'm still alive, and I feel OK today, despite the fact that I'm only running on 5 hours sleep...

 

[Azraele]

I wouldn't eat it. I think I read somewhere that tha longest you should let something sit out is 4 hours.

And according to a Wal-Mart CBL, once something hits 40F, bacteria starts to reproduce rapidly.
