what should be done with cooked meat left on the kitchen counter overnight?
possible answers:
a) cook it again before serving
b) place it immediately in the refrigerator
c) throw it out
d) none of the above

Explanation:

Cooked meat left on the counter overnight is at risk of bacterial growth (like from pathogens that multiply in unsafe temperatures). Re - cooking or refrigerating won't make it safe as the bacteria (and their toxins, in some cases) may still be present. So the safe option is to throw it out.

Answer:

C) Throw it out
