I forgot to put mayo back in the fridge

#1

It has been sitting on the table overnight(after dinner I think)
Would you say It’s still okay to eat if it doesn’t smell or taste bad?

#2

Weird.

Sure let us know you get on…I for one won’t be able to sleep until this mystery is solved.

I know loads of people who never keep it, or any other sauces, in the fridge.
Wouldn’t worry, it separates when it goes bad so you’d see.

If it’s a super clean good mayo, I’d probably toss it, if it’s a normal regular people trash mayo (you know, the awesome tasting one) I’m sure it’s perfectly fine. The advantage of the hyper processed stuff is it stays good though a lot. Really the only advantage.

Even ones with only clean ingredients?

Eat it and keep eating it if you like it!

I’ve never made clean mayo. I’d like to and in the past I’ve eaten raw (unpasteurised) egg but recently I’ve noticed in the UK it’s not recommended!
Over cautious perhaps?

What is the worst that could happen?

If you are not immunocompromised you might have a bit of an upset tum for a few days.

If an upset tum would be difficult to handle at the moment, bin the mayo and start a new jar.

Honestly you would see straight away if it had gone bad as it ferments and splits, I know… :joy:

#10

I would eat it then but I have a sturdy enough body regarding this and no worries at all so I don’t say it’s necessarily good for everyone.
I do it with everything edible. I would be more wary with certain items but they are the ones where it’s obvious when going bad…

#11

I would eat it. You can see if it’s bad.

@lee_4_12 If we don’t hear back from you in a long while, we shall assume our advice to just go ahead and eat it was ill-advised. :roll_eyes:

(FWIW, I would)
