+1. You should’ve at least left it for your spouse to it, since they thought it’s ridiculious and wasteful to throw it away.

Wait, you have been giving your son tuna sandwiches daily???

I would have eaten it. 3 hours is not a long time, and mayo has vinegar which is a preservative. No problem.

Good stuff here guys! I just tossed my tuna that’s been sitting here on my desk from lunch @ 1200 now 330. But i am eating the grapes though…

Is it sealed? I'm not sure what sort of packaging it would be in.

I'd probably still eat it though lol.

It would have been an argument in my house, too. I resolve it by writing "DAD ONLY" in black sharpie and sticking it in the fridge. Kids and I don't touch it and if DH gets sick, well, he accepted the risk. I will say he never gets sick.

I was so hungry & ate tuna salad sandwich from deli after 3 hrs in car it’s about 80’outside. Now I’m scared

No. It's go mayo in it and it was out of the fridge for over 2 hours. Not worth the risk.

Lol. Are you trolling or serious?

Mayo also has raw eggs, which carry salmonella, which if left unrefrigerated grows and can cause food poisoning that will make you wish you were dead.
