Coffee Creamer????

Kyle just called me... the coffee creamer he bought last night never got put away, so he put it in the fridge this morning when he got up. It was out for about 9 hours. My first thought was to throw it away, but now I'm second guessing myself. It was cool in my house last night, and it's never been opened. Do you think it might be ok?
I SERIOUSLY need my coffee this morning, but I don't want to get sick.

I'd throw it away. But that's just me. I understand your delima, though. And you are only drinking a very small amount and you're adding it to a liquid that's almost boiling hot. Not exactly bacteria friendly. If you do decide to use it this morning, though, I'd use it just today and get fresh for tomorrow.

Throw it away!
I guess that means I have to go to the grocery store today though, but better than risking getting sick!
thanks y'all!
:) I would say that was your best decision. My ex-FIL was a health inspector/Fire inspector and he used to inspect restaurants. Part of his inspection was to go around to the tables to see if the creamer was cold. If not, he'd tell them to throw them away and put out fresh. They only last for so long and it's a dairy product so I wouldn't risk it. Dairy is dairy and I don't risk anything when it comes to that.
:) Have a nice weekend!

Here's my 2 cents worth. I worked as a cook at a conference centre. You can have real cream creamers and non-dairy creamers. Non dairy creamers are edible oil procucts (they are made from petroleum- think Vaseline) Non-dairy creamers are commonly used and while we stored them in freezer or walk-in until placed on tables - the company info said they did not need to be. You serve them cold to give impression that they are dairy cream/milk- but they aren't.
If it is real cream- it will go bad if you leave it out in heat. A good test is to see if it curdles. And dairy products that go bad or sour- you can definitely smell!
Hope this info helps

Tina,
I'll have the mental note not to use Non-dairy from restaurants! I wonder if that goes for the powdered creamer as well? In that case..not too bad of a taste for petroleum LOL..I didn't know they made that out of edible oil?
Very intersting and thanks for sharing!
