Okay so I see this warning on lots of items, including some which find their way into my kitchen, most notably raspberry jam (Smucker's Pure). Most notably this, because I disobey the label. I don't like wrestling with jam that is refrigerator consistency - it is inconvenient to spread- so I leave it out on the counter, or in the cupboard. It takes me maybe a couple weeks to go through one. And I have not fallen ill.
HOWEVER!
I once (two decades ago!) failed to pay heed to the wise admonition when it was present on a container of Cesar salad dressing. I only left the silly thing on the counter over night. But then the next day my lady friend and I found, perhaps two or three hours after sharing a delicious meal together, including the aforenamed and beloved salad, that we were compelled to take turns paying tribute before the porcelain throne. This is a lesson I have not forgotten.
No need to be too graphic, but I am curious if anyone has made similar blunders? Also, what other food items have you found that bear the titular warning, but without cause?
Ope, David's up at 4 am again, and look what happens.
