Best Answer

That depends strongly on temperature. If left in a hot car spoilage can begin in less than a half hour. At room temperature it might be OK for several hours to a couple days. If kept refrigerated it will be good for at least a week after the store "pull by" date printed on the package.

Also solid products like cheese and butter can last longer at room temperature than milk can.

How long does vacuumed food last?

Vacuum packaging extends shelf life because it removes oxygen from around the food. There is no one formula to determine how long that will extend shelf life of all foods. Companies that use vacuum packaging perform shelf life studies on their products and it will vary from product to product or even manufacturer to manufacturer. It also depends upon the quality of the product when it is packaged. Home vacuum packaged food may not last as long as commercially packaged product. Also remember that vacuum packaging does not take the place of proper storage.
