5 days agoWhy You Should Avoid Packing BLTs For Lunch (Unless They're On Ice) - Tasting Table
Bacon, even when cooked, is still a perishable food item and it will only stay safe for consumption for up to two hours at room temperature (or one hour if it's really hot out), according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Keep it unrefrigerated any longer than that, and you risk serious foodborne illness from harmful bacteria. You can extend the lifespan of your bacon (and your BLT) by putting it in the fridge, or packing your sandwich on ice if you're on the go.
