How long do you have before food spoils when you buy it at the store and drive home?

It depends on the type of food. Pathogen growth varies from food to food depending on the acidity, moisture content, oxygen level and temperature requirements. The more acidic a food is, the slower the growth of pathogens. Pickled foods are able to stay out of refrigeration longer due to their high acid content. Eggs, for example can stay out of refrigeration for hours, even overnight without spoiling because the shell acts as a barrier for oxygen. Meat, on the other hand has a quick pathogen growth rate. You can leave red meat out to room temp, and then cook it without risk of illness, but chicken should be kept refrigerated. The length of time your food would be safe after buying at the store would also be determined by the temperature outside. There are just a variety of factors.
