Can non-dairy (liquid) ceamer be left out of the refrigerator all day, and still be good?!


Question: I know it says non-dairy, however it's sold in the refrigerated section at the store, and I keep it in the refrigerator at home. It was accidently left on the countertop all day. Is it still good to use? It's that liquid coffeemate stuff.

It says on the package that it is non-dairy, and it doesn't say it must be kept in the refrigerator, however I just dont know considering it's always kept in the refrigeratior.

My wife leaves it out 5 out of 7 days and has not had a problem. I mean it is out of the fridge at 7:00 am and doesn't get put back until 8:00 pm. NO PROBLEM!!!

Without seeing the actual ingredients it is hard to say. Look at the ingredient label and decide if there is anything listed that may spoil if not refrigerated. If you see nothing and it tastes/smells the same, it may be ok

If the bottle does not say "refrigerate after opening" anywhere, I think you'll be fine.

Even though it is non-dairy, it has been sitting at room temperature for several hours. Bacteria starts growing the minute it hits room temperature. I would throw it out to be safe.
