How long can instant pudding sit out unrefrigerated?

Answer 1

Well, friend, instant pudding is best kept refrigerated to maintain its freshness. If left out unrefrigerated, it's safest to enjoy it within 2 hours. Remember, we want to keep our treats as fresh and delicious as possible for a happy little snack time.

Answer 2

My mother always kept one stick of butter in a butter dish at room temperature. It would take her maybe a week to use up one stick on bread, toast, etc., and then she'd refill the butter dish with another stick from the fridge. Nobody ever had any bad effects from unrefrigerated butter, and my parents lived to be 90 and 93. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me, so I've been doing the same for 40 years!

Answer 3

if it hasn't been opened it can stay out as long as you want but if it's open i would say no longer than 2 or 3 hours tops.
