I ordered some cheese online and the idiots did not ship it with cold packs. I ordered it via 2 day shipping so it's probably been out of refrigeration for that many days. I have muenster, butterkase, brie, and cheddar.

The Wisconsin Cheese Mart allows for 3 day shipping. But I don't know if they include cold packs. Seems like the people selling the cheese would include cold packs if it was needed. Call the people you ordered from and talk to them about it.

no longer long, any protein has a short shelf existence, unrefrigerated. even after 20 minutes at room temp, micro organism will double. you will possibly no longer die, yet you will possibly no longer experience too sturdy after meat, dairy, eggs...

If it is vacuum sealed it should be fine. Cheese does pretty well since it is already "spoiled" in a sense.

If it does not have a vacuum seal to it, then it should be tossed out. If if was vacuum packed, you are OK.

You can usually smell it and tell.
