Yes, oatmeal for dinner. Time was short after bringing home a foster dog from the shelter. It’s the one that looks like it’s still adjusting.

Just speculation on my part, but I was leaving in the possibilery that some American-style heavily-modified PB could be at risk at room temp. For example, loaded with HF corn sweeteners, emulsifiers, etc.
I loved my college Nutrition class way back when, but I don’t remember it covering stuff like this.
That stuff has so much sugar in it that nothing will grow. Just like honey.
Common bacteria (etc) love various refined sugars in the presence of free water, but yeah, based on a couple quick searches just now, it doesn’t seem like there’s enough moisture for them in even American-style PB and salad dressings, etc. IIRC acidity also plays a role. (note: I’m talking as someone whose fridge has been on the fritz for a while!)
Just got back from the store. Will follow up on those messages in a bit.
Yup, pH (acidity), water activity (moisture) play huge roles in shelf stability. We could get scientific, but it goes deep. To assist with those (Aw/pH), additives can be used to inhibit microbial growth, like sulphites, sodium benzoate.
I’m slow responding atm, too. I’m now overseas, so enjoying my time adventuring than being on me phone. 😁
Oh, you naughty thing!
Anyway, good to hear, and thanks for adding on.
