Safe to eat?

[FluffyCushion123]

Veggie sausage and bean casserole been left out over in heavy cast iron pot with lid. Would’ve been cool from around 8pm so been out of fridge 13 hours. Room temperature in kitchen is now 20 degrees but would’ve been a bit lower overnight.
Gah! I hate waste :(
Bin or eat?

@FluffyCushion123 yay!!!!
Shows I'm over-cautious

Too soon to be sure. Food bourne illnesses have different incubation periods depending on the bacteria in question that range from 2hrs to 72hrs. Only if he goes 4 days with no diarreha, stomach cramps or vomiting can you celebrate his luck. And it is luck. Not following basic safety precautions never result in 100% risk the bad thing will happen, it simply increases your risk of the bad thing happening.

Similar to the fact that wearing a bicycle helmet can save your life if you get in an accident, but not wearing bicycle helmet doesn’t mean 100% probability you will have an accident.
