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.
In fact, raw meat should never sit out in temperatures above 40 F for extended periods of time â and never longer than two hours for any reason. The type of meat doesn't matter when it comes to the two-hour rule. If itâs raw, itâs no longer safe to eat once it sits out at room temperature for two hours. Once you've reached the two-hour time limit, bacteria that is naturally found on raw meat begins to grow to levels that are unsafe for consumption.
