How do you know when it's safe to eat food that has been sitting out on the table for a while?

It depends on what kind of food it is. If it’s meat, fish or eggs, then it should be cooked before being eaten. If it’s leftovers like soup or stew, then it can be reheated safely in a microwave oven. Fruit and vegetables should also be washed with cold water before eating.
