A member asked:
Is it safe to eat left overs when pregnant or food thats been left out for a few hours after being cooked fresh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: not good idea, esp if dairy or cream, cheese sauces involved. Very easy to contract staph or other toxin type food poisoning from bacterial growth on food left out too long (more than hour or so). Hope this was helpful. Best of luck with pregnancy. Dr. R
