Unrefrigerated Ground Beef. Raw ground beef can harbor harmful bacteria that multiply rapidly when the meat's temperature is between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. For safety and to maintain freshness, never leave ground beef at room temperature for more than two hours. If the ambient temperature is above 90 F, do not leave it out for more than one hour. These food safety guidelines apply to both raw and cooked ground beef.
