How long can hot dogs stay unrefrigerated?

I bought a pack of hot dogs a few nights ago and forgot to put them away. They've been in the house, between about 52 and 62 degrees, unoƿє-ṅєd. Could they still be good? I'm hungry.

No, throw them away. Technically, you can leave potentially hazardous food in the danger zone (41F-140F) for up to four hours before you have to toss it, but I personally don't go past 20 minutes, and yours have been there for a few days.... Show More
