Do i need to keep my lunch meat cold?

Question

I like salami/pepperoni sandwiches. I leave the house @ 7:15 and eat lunch @ 12:00. Do i need to keep my sandwich cold or can I just keep it in a ziplock bag? I'm a little ignorant when it comes to what needs to be kept cold all the time. thanx:)

Answer 1

The longer it sits warm, the more sour and slimy it will get. Some people like that. Most will benefit from keeping deli meat cool, despite the fact it probably has sodium nitrite poison in it, to delay outright rotting. Regards, Larry.

Answer 2

Yes, by all means, especially in the summer. Carry your lunch in a insulated lunch bag. They sell them at your local Kmart, Walmart, etc.
