Question: Leaving mayonnaise out overnight!? I forgot to put it back in the fridge!.!?
Should I just throw it away or is it ok to leave it out at room temperature!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Homemade mayo should probably be discarded unless your house is below 45 at night!. Commercial mayo has preservatives, though, and it should be OK, as long as you don't do it over and over!. (I've done the same thing before and never gotten sick!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't throw it out, it doesn't even need to be kept in the fridge!.
They are so full of preservatives the will last for months, if not longer in your pantry!.
I often wonder why we are told to refrigerate things after opening, when there is no obvious need!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Throw it away! Bacteria! Food poisoning! Overnight!?

Mayonnaise is mainly made of egg yolks and oil!. So ya, throw it away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's fine!.!. modern mayo has no eggs etc!. I would put it up asap, if not kept cool the wipped oil will seperate and get lumpyWww@FoodAQ@Com

it should be ok if just left out for one night, but you should taste it first before using it on other things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would throw it away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
