How are bento boxes safe to eat when they’re kept at room temperature for several hours before eating?
In: 103
Because food safety laws are often about litigation rather than just health and so have to be pretty broad and unforgiving.
Realistically your immune system can put up with a lot more than you really pay attention to, and the amount of bacteria that can grow in like 5hrs is generally low enough provided your prep was pretty clean that your chances of getting sick are just pretty low. The chances of it being worse than a slightly runny shit, also very low.
