how long can fast food sit at room temp. before its not good to eat?

Answer 1

I've eaten day old unrefrigerated pizza before... I didnt get sick.
I think there are too many chemicals and preservatives in the ingredients to really make fast food go bad.

You are probably at more danger if you re-heat it but not to a piping hot temperature.

If it tastes bad, don't eat it. Hmm maybe smell it first before trying.

Answer 2

Any sort of cooked food has about a two-hour window before it cools enough to allow bacteria to grow.

With fast food, you have to remember that there's a big chance that the food was sitting around before you bought it. And then you have to add the time it took to leave the restaurant and transport the food home. I'd give fast food an hour, max.

Answer 3

No food should sit out but we all do it once in awhile

I'd eat it after 2 hours

But I'm not say or telling anyone that that's what is the right or good thing to do.

You can never tell what bacteria will do with any thing
Cause We Can't See It Happening

You should also know in case you don't know
Once something has been frozen it should NOT be frozen again

Just FYI

Answer 4

it depends on the type fast food
is it meat / veggie
how clean the kitchen it was cooked in
bacteria multiply every 20 Min's at room temp 2=4=8=16=32=64
so 2 hours and no more but its better to reheat to a temp over 67c which will kill most bacteria

Answer 5

I have done a food and hygiene course and I can tell you that after 20 mins MAX food starts to grown harmful bacteria and should NOT be eaten.

Answer 6

Fast food isn't good to eat period.

Answer 7

Fact: half an hour for McDonald's products and a little less for their fries. Ask a waiter and they'll tell you. Amazing, ain't it?

Answer 8

It;s not good to eat straight from the grill.
