Left my oyster feast out over the weekend

[BantyRooster97]

Like the title says, I left my brand new bottle of oyster feast out on my desk over the weekend (it says keep refrigerated)

Do you think it is spoiled? Should I throw it out? Or will it be fine to use?

thx!

Smell it if it makes you gag then throw it away

 

[BantyRooster97]

LOL, thanks

I would toss it regardless. Even if it hasn't spoiled the proteins probably still broke down more than you'd like.

Man that smell will be putrid !

That sucks! It happens. Toss it.

Bummer, sucks but I would toss. Like mentioned already the major proteins have most likely broken down and it's turned to mush.

 

[BantyRooster97]

yeah, guess I'll toss it. Its just $ right. lol. Teach me to put it back in the fridge.

Europeans don't refrigerate their eggs.

I would recommend you discard the product. We pack so much biomass in Oyster-Feast that degradation of the lipids and other compounds is substantial when it's not kept at refrigerator temperatures. We don't use preservatives so the product is less stable at room temperature. Bummer this happened. Thanks for tagging me @saltyfilmfolks.

@Reef Nutrition thanks for the reply! I tossed it, now I've got to go buy some more.

We all need mini refrigerators next to our tanks. I know this happens to me every now and then because my tank is in the basement and the fridge is on the first floor!

I have a follow up question. What is the useful life when kept in a refrigerator?

I go by the expiration date on the bottle. Anything discarded sooner didn't pass the smell test.

Each bottle has an expiration date on it. Oyster-Feast has a refrigerator life of 6 months. As @FirstContact stated; the smell test is always a good way to detect fouling. Just like with milk!
