No longer than an hour or so if left out in room temp. Bacteria can start to grow on foods in an hour. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacteria but not all. Foods should be kept out of the danger zone which is above 40°F and below 140°F. In this zone foods are perfect for bacteria.

∙ 10y agoAll foods that are considered potentially hazardous can be kept at room temperature for up to four hours. The temperature danger zone (the zone in which room temperature exists) is between 41 and 140 degrees fahrenheit. Keep it either below or above that zone if you are leaving it out for more than four hours.

The maximum amount of time to leave any food out at room temperature is 2 hours. After the food reaches 40 degrees, the growth of bacteria begins to rise. It takes about 2 hours for a dish at 140 degrees to cool down to room temperature (70 degrees) or for a dish at 40 degrees to warm up to room temperature. This causes an explosion in bacterial growth and if the bacteria is one that causes foodborne illness, you could be in for trouble. Check out this offer
