Can you leave cottage cheese out overnight?
Cottage cheese should not be left out overnight due to the risk of bacterial growth. Cottage cheese is a perishable dairy product and should be refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below. Leaving cottage cheese out overnight at room temperature can allow bacteria to multiply, potentially leading to foodborne illnesses such as Listeria, E. coli, or Salmonella.
