It had mayo? Uggh yeah it probably isn't going to taste very good anyway, even if it doesn't make you sick. Room temp. But hers was home made you know with the raw eggs so the situation may not apply with the store bought stuff. If there is going to be a problem, it's going to be in the mayo, not the meats or bread.
I'll eat it if you don't want it. I have had a sweater on in the house. I have just begun drinking. It's been wrapped the whole time. I'd eat it, and I took the FoodSafe course required for workers who handle food in my locale. Would I serve it in a restaurant? Nope, probably not. But I'd have no problem eating it myself. There are two general rules about food being left out: 1. If perishable food has been has been above 40 degrees F for more than two hours, throw it out. If you're not sure, throw it out.
Citation: CDC. I'm sure there's a better cite but I can't find one now. Lots of people will share their anecdotes about how they violated this rule and were fine anyway. That doesn't matter. This is risk management. Given the amount of preservatives present in deli food, it's almost certainly safe.
Gadget at PM on January 17, [ 1 favorite ]. I wouldn't eat mayo left out all day. My wife an I once split a BLT that gave us the runs for a week. Reishus has it right: 2 hours is your limit for food at room temperature. You almost certainly will not die , but unless you're starving to death and have no money to buy other food, is it really worth getting sick? The more moisture in a sandwich, the faster the bacteria will grow. Do not take any chances if the sandwich has been left out for longer than four hours.
If it looks or smells bad, throw it out. This means that if a sandwich has been left out for 2 hours or less, it can be refrigerated and saved for later. Once removed again from refrigeration is can stay out another 2 hours. The total safe time without refrigeration is 4 hours, whether continuous or not. After 4 hours of total sitting out time, throw out the sandwich. Sandwiches can definitely make someone ill. Thousands of people in the United States get sick every year due to food-borne illnesses.
These illnesses can be anywhere from an upset stomach to more serious problems such as kidney failure and even death. Dairy products high in moisture content, deli meats, and fish products all have a fast bacteria growth that can cause food poison. Whenever possible, keep cold foods cold to be safe. There are many ways people think their sandwiches are stored properly or safely, but they are often not as safe as one might believe.
If you store a sandwich in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag , it will remain fresh for a time, but it also collects moisture through condensation.
This will cause the sandwich to be soggy if stored for too long. If stored in the refrigerator, they can remain good for days. The first ingredient you can expect to spoil is either meat or eggs.
Meat such as beef, chicken, turkey, or ham needs to be promptly refrigerated to avoid spoilage. If there are also eggs added, they also make their way to the commodities that are the quickest to spoil. Hence, meat and eggs will cause your sandwiches to become spoilt. If a sandwich with either or both; meat and eggs stay out of the fridge for long, the food becomes a safety hazard. Eggs carry salmonella bacteria that is a highly prevalent cause of food poisoning.
Salmonella is potentially present in eggs which, gradually multiply and causes the egg to spoil. Mayonnaise has preservatives that prevent it from spoiling even when put together as a food ingredient. Meat and poultry are mostly water and highly nutritious, which means that it is a haven for bacterial growth.
It is usually attacked by Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. If you have vegetables or herbs added, such as onions or celery, they also tend to wilt after a while. Even though they may not spoil as soon, but they lose their freshness. However, vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage should not be exposed to room temperature for longer than 2 hours. Sandwiches with peanut butter, jam, jelly, or butter will stay safe out of the fridge for more than 2 hours.
To stay safe, sandwiches, salads , and other meals with perishable ingredients shouldn't be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours—max. Leftovers should also go back in the refrigerator within 2 hours. Even if your lunch just contains one ingredient that's questionable—like mayonnaise—the whole thing should go in the fridge, Crowe says. And if, for some reason, your meal is exposed to heat like if you walk to work , then the growth of bacteria and germs becomes a concern even sooner: Food shouldn't be left unrefrigerated for more than an hour if it's being exposed to weather that's at or above 90 degrees.
You may, however, be able to get away without refrigeration if you prepare your lunch the night before and toss it in the fridge so everything's cold by morning , and then pack it in a freezable insulated lunch bag in the morning, along with an additional cold source like an ice pack, says Crowe.
