Is spaghetti sauce still good even if you heat it up and leave it out over night?

Question

I heated up a jar of sauce last night, fell asleep, and left it in the pan all night. Think its still good? I don't feel like running to the store for more.

Answer 1

although i would not eat it, more than likely yes it is fine if it was plain sauce.....especially if you had your a/c on and it was very cool.....i wont even go into the bacteria speech but if you dont trust it dont eat it, better safe than sorry

Answer 2

yeah just make sure that it not cold you dont want to get sick from it  

Answer 3

Personally, I would toss.  If you added any meat to it, definitely toss.  If not, it should be ok.  

Answer 4

I AM A 38 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF 4 GROWN CHILDREN! I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT LEAVE IT TO CHANCE!!! BACTERIA DONT NEED A WHOLE 24 HOURS! LOL! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

You know what MOM would say....throw it out and buy more.  MOM is right!  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚™Â¥

Answer 6

Always remember.. that food goes bad at Room Temp. especially being left out for about 8 hours.  I highly recommend going to the store and getting new  sauce.

Answer 7

Food-born bacteria begins to grow in food that remains at room temperature begining at 4hours. If anything is left in the 'danger zone' (40 degrees - 140 degrees) for longer than 4 hours, do not eat it.  

Answer 8
