Left bag of pizza supplies on counter for 7-8 hours -- what can I keep?

[Anonymous]

I already threw away the italian sausage. Can I keep the following or should I toss?

-bag of unopened shredded mozz
-log of fresh mozz in sealed package
-unopened container of pesto from Harris Teeter deli
-dough ball from Harris Teeter deli

If the pesto is jarred and non-refrigerated, I'd keep that. If it's refrigerated, I'd toss all of it.

I'd keep it all. I don't see any reason to toss any of it.

No issues with the dough except for rising that you didn't intend. Punch it down and let it rise again.

I'd toss it all and replace.

Why take the chance on your health for $20-$25?

What chance? none of this food is dangerously perishable. Cheese was invented as a way to preserve milk. If it looks funny or smells funny, throw it away, otherwise it's good to go. Why waste $25 when there is no reason to.

keep it. If you're worried, smell and taste a bit. I'm sure it's fine.

+1, especially in regards to the dough. I make bread regularly and leave the dough out for hours to rise.

Plus OP isn't eating any of this stuff raw, obviously. Yes, I realize cooking doesn't kill all bacteria, but we're talking pastuerized cheese, pesto (why would an unopened mix of oil, herbs, garlic, hard cheese and nuts require refrigeration??), flour, water and yeast.

In general I would also do this.

However, the safest is to read the packages. If the package says "refridgerate contents" or something similar then you might question it, but most of those are likely to be items that say "refridgerate contents after opening" which means that they are sealed and safe without refrigeration until you open the vacuum seal.
