If I take cold pasta salad to work and it's sitting out all day... will it be ok?!


Question: I'm sure it will. My only question is does it have mayonnaise? If so, it depends on where you work.

If you work in an office environment where it's cool, then yes it's fine. If it's been in the heat, then I wouldn't eat it.

if there is no mayo in it it will be fine for a few hours

i would take along a bigger bowl than what your salad is in and fill it with ice, just to be on the safe side...

Oil & vinegar or mayonaisse?

O&V should be OK, mayo -- NO!

NO!!!
The mayo will go bad.

it depends on what is in it if there is mayo & meat or cheese then i would not chance it but if it is like just veggies and the dressing is like italian it should be ok

Depends..really, I guess people would say it wouldnt be, but I never put my food in the fridge in work, and I've been fine, and I've had pasta salads etc...

I probably wouldnt advice it if you lived somewhere really hot though.

it will be warm pasta salad...is that ok? also, some of it may be missing *munch munch*

depends on what is in it

Not if it has mayo on it don't eat it...

Not unless you have a small cooler that you can bring with you!

My trainer says you can leave stuff with mayo out for about 6 hrs. No mayo up to 8hrs.

sure no problems

I wouldn't. Unless you have it on an ice bath. And take the temperature of it all the time. Should be less than 40 degrees.

It's not safe to leave food unrefrigerated for longer than two hours. That was a good tip from the person who said to put it in a bowl of ice....

The person who said EIGHT HOURS needs to get a new trainer, if that's what they were told....EIGHT HOURS is just begging for a case of food poisoning....No matter how much your co-workers like your pasta salad, they aren't going to forget it if you give them food poisoning....

yes if it without the dressing

no - it taste different after 3-4 hours
