How Long Is Yogurt Good At Room Temp

[Joel]

How long can you leave yogurt on the counter at room temperature before it's not good anymore?

 

[Paul]

If you leave yogurt out at room temperature for two hours or less, you should be able to refrigerate it again without an issue. If the yogurt has been out longer than that, it's probably best to toss it because it may have started growing bacteria.

This isn't the scientific answer, but personally I'd give it the ole sniff test and if it doesn't smell like it's gone bad and doesn't look like it's gone bad, then I'd eat it. I wouldn't serve it to my children, my elderly grandparents, or anyone with a compromised immune system, but I'd feel fine eating it myself.
