How long will coffee creamer last out of the refrigerator?!


Question: How long will coffee creamer last out of the refrigerator?
When I was making coffee this morning, I found the liquid Coffeemate creamer that I just bought over the weekend sitting on the counter. Apparently one of my housemates decided to remove it from the fridge and leave it out. I'm not sure how long it was out, but it is definitely warm. Do you think it's okay, or should I ask that the person responsible for leaving it out replace it?

As there is not a precise time on how long its outside the fridge, i would not use it if it has been out of the fridge more then 4 hours. As at that time the bacteria that formed in it its at a danger level. You should keep it stored at 40°F or below at all times, as all dairy products.

As per USPH standards

Ask the person who left it out to replace it -- coffee creamer will go bad. If it didn't need to be refrigerated, they wouldn't sell it in the refrigerator section of the grocery store.

If it's non-dairy, you should be fine. If it isn't, throw it out and ask for a new one!
