food safety - packet of ham

[pastimperfect]

I've accidentally left an unopened packet of ham in a shopping bag. It's been out of the fridge for a good 3 hours. Is it safe to eat? or is it best binned?

hmmm

feel the packet, is it cool or was it left in a pool of sunshine?

it feels kind of cool, but not far off room temp. It wasn't in the sunshine, but lurking at the bottom of the shopping bag which I'd left on the kitchen floor.

I'm tempted to err on the side of caution, you know.

it was "nice ham", too

it should be fine in that case

lol nice ham

It'll be fine. Just eat it!
