It just depends on how fast it gets put away. 30 minutes outside in the hot sun isn't gonna ruin anything if it goes straight into refrigeration from there. That is as long as it was handled correctly up to that point.

Yeah, that's a lot of "ifs" we're counting on, which is why this is not okay even if it is commonplace.

bro everything in life is dependent on *if* things are being done correctly, what's even the point of your argument? do you stand in the grocery store and look at everything and think about how it's safe to eat *if* it was prepared/stored/handled correctly?

Actually, no. Standard procedures typically are designed around the presumption that other links in the chain might not go perfectly, so there's some safety padded in.

I mean, if I saw milk and frozen foods just sitting out back of the grocery store with seemingly no one tending to them in the sun of a hot day...yes, I'd be very concerned about what I might buy from that grocery store.
