Is it okay to eat a egg roll that was left out overnight and the next day?

It is not advised to consume an egg roll that has been left out overnight and the following day. Egg rolls are typically filled with meat, vegetables, and seasonings, which can provide a favorable environment for bacteria to grow and multiply. Leaving the egg roll out at room temperature for an extended period increases the risk of foodborne illness.

Refrigerating the egg roll after cooking and before leaving it out overnight may reduce the risk of bacterial growth, but it is still not recommended to consume it the next day. Refrigeration slows down bacterial growth but does not completely stop it. Consuming an egg roll that has been left out for an extended period can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.

To ensure food safety, it is advisable to discard any perishable food that has been left out at room temperature for more than two hours or overnight.
