How long is pumpkin pie good at room temperature?

Pumpkin pie should not be left at room temperature for an extended period.

Here's why:

* Bacteria growth: Room temperature is ideal for bacteria to multiply rapidly, which can cause food poisoning.

* Spoilage: The ingredients in pumpkin pie, especially the dairy (milk, cream, or eggs), are susceptible to spoilage at room temperature.

Recommendation:

* Pumpkin pie should be refrigerated as soon as it has cooled to room temperature.

* It's best to consume it within 2-3 days of baking.

Important Note: If you see any signs of mold, discoloration, or an off smell, discard the pie immediately.
