My therey is "when in doubt, pitch it out......... But as long as it doesn't smell, I'm OK with that.

I'm usually a "when in doubt throw it out" girl, but if it was kept in a relatively cool house and not in the blistering sun, it's probably fine. It's a dairy product, so I'd think that it would smell sour if it were bad. How does it smell?

If yo'ure worried about it, though, then toss it, buy a new one, and be more careful next time.

It is cream cheese, not cheddar.

I'd say up to 12 hours or so depending on how hot it is, should be fine. I have left cream cheese out over night and refrigerated it and ate it and I was fine...

It's probably (key word 'probably') fine, but I did what I do with most questions I don't know the answer to~~ I googled it and the expert advice was AFTER TWO HOURS OUT OF FRIDGE, YOU SHOULD PITCH IT OUT!

I agree. I've sometimes made mistakes like that - tasted the product - never got sick.

There was no yuck. No mols, no distinct smell. I ate it and there was no ill effect.
