Am I going to get sick?

[CherryCheery]

Ate a pepperoni stick that was refrigerated and then left out for around 4 hrs.

No

I would imagine a pepperoni stick wouldn't go off if it was left out for four months.

Nah, there are probably enough additives in those things to keep them edible for weeks on end 😬

I don’t think even germs think it’s food

No you’ll be fine. I remember a friend in the forces used to get his mother to post them to him and eat them without issues!

Unlikely

They are on the shelves in some shops not fridges

Yes, I thought that. I just worried because it was refrigerated previously and then I forgot to put them away. I know they're not the best choice! I got the mini stick ones.

You need to get to A&E now OP!

Out of date pepperoni very dangerous, if left untreated your knees could fall off.

I know someone who takes them to work as a snack and leaves them on their desk for ages. You'll be fine

I think you're thinking of pepper-no-knee...

I’m sure some kids have them in their lunch boxes for hours.

Are we meant to keep them in the fridge? I keep them in the cupboard and no one has died yet

Peperami say they taste best refrigerated but don’t need it.
