Toss it out. Within 2 hours milk that's left unrefrigerated can be so loaded down with bacteria that it is enough to make anyone sick. Bacteria grow exponentially, and grow best at room temp or above. You can't always smell or taste those bacteria but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Just throw it out and don't put yourself or your family in danger of getting very sick!

thats gonna make itwarm and nasty..
u better throw it out , and dont drink it, or u'll get a stomach ach

I would toss it.

I would not drink it, but I also would not hesitate to quickly use it up in something like Sausage gravy, pudding or baking.

Yes - throw it out and don't drink it.

yes i would think so

Maybe- but i wouldn't drink it. Just throw it out.

I would throw it out as that is the perfect temperature for salmonella to grow.

I wouldn't trust it. I would honestly throw it out. That has happened to me too before, ya know, leaving it out on the counter overnight

Smell it...taste it......

If it didn't sour..... it will soon...... and will be good to make pancakes or soup if it still smells good...... those type of recipes sometimes call for sour milk....

I would chuck it just to be safe hahahaha

Well the nice thing about milk is that if it tastes fine it is fine
Another thing to know is that before milk goes bad it splits so u can see if u put some in a glass cup that the water and solids are apart

It will probably be just fine today. Better smell and taste it tomorrow again before using.

If the milk was frozen before you left it out overnight it will be Oas I have done that from time to time when I needed milk in the morning and all I had left were frozen bags.
