Question: Vacuum Sealed high quality old cheddar cheese was left in a fridge that was open for 8 hours. I have now been eating that cheese for 1 month there is no mould on it but it smells pungent.
It's generally not recommended to consume cheese that has been left in an open fridge for more than 2 hours, as it may have been exposed to bacteria and other pathogens. The fact that the vacuum-sealed cheddar cheese smells pungent after a month of being left in an open fridge may be an indicator that it has gone bad, even if there is no visible mold on it. The pungent smell could be caused by the bacteria that has grown on it, which may not be safe to consume. It's best to err on the side of caution and discard the cheese to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
