I got distracted while unloading my groceries.
Turns out that I left some vacuum-sealed groundbeef out in in the open for about 12 hours, but it was kinda pricey and I'm not eager to throw it out.
What are the chances that I'm going to die if I cook it?
Throw it away, goober. Is a few dollars really worth spending a couple days pissing out of your pooper?

what temperature did you leave it at? if it doesn't visibly look bad it's probably ok, and if you cook properly it you will be fine. use lots of salt and spices for good measure if you're really worried

>Ground beef
There's a good chance you'll die but it has nothing to do with you leaving it out on the counter....

It was room temperature so 70~ degrees.
Nothing about it looks off. There's no browning and all of it is dark red still.
100%.
Everybody dies.
The likelihood that your eventual death will be directly caused by the vac-packed mince you left out for twelve hours, however, is significantly lower than that. Short of choking on a meatball you make from it or having a compromised immune system due to advanced HIV disease or being a longterm patient of immunosuppressive therapy, it's unlikely that it'll kill you or even make you sick.

If it smells even a bit off then throw that shit in the trash or you'll die.

It was ground beef. How pricey could it be? Toss it.

I'll be honest; I've spent more time reflecting on this question than I'd like to admit.

if it smells okay then it's fine. just cook it to whatever temperature beef is supposed to be cooked to, none of that medium rare shit
>>7449253
Well, the answer is no.

Explain your reasoning.

I have money and pissing out of your butt countless times a day is an avoidable occurence

Cook a small portion of it, then freeze the rest. Test the cooked portion on a homeless person. Wait and see if he rushes to the nearest 7-11.

What if my nearest 7-11 doesn't have a restroom?
I know, it sucks, but everyone in my region has learned to deal with it.

>There's no browning and all of it is dark red still.
I'd only throw it out if it smells off.
>>7449206
people leave meat out all the time. just cook it and eat it you pussy. worst that can happen is you will have the poops.
if you're that concerned, eat some pickled ginger with your meal.
Do you still have the receipt?
Open it and take it back to the store. Tell them you just purchased it earlier, took it home, opened it, and it smells rotten.
99% times they'll give you a refund or an exchange.

Then figure out where the nearest homeless dumping ground is, and wait to see if he/she goes there.

I'll do my best, anon!
