Left hotsauce out overnight

So I made another batch 36 hours ago, and left one of the 4 bottles out for those hours and forgot about it until now. Just tested the pH and it is 4.6. Should I toss? How serious is should I take this? Ive left food out before and eaten and have been fine. I put in the fridge immediate after realizing and if I need to toss it , Ill toss it. Just curious. Thanks.
 
I properly cleaned sanitized and sterilized everything that came into contact w/ the sauce and hot fill/held. I just left one out on this other batch and was wondering if it could go bad in those 36 hours
 
I am known by friends and family as the family goat

I am referred to this name because i hate letting food go to waste. I will eat scraps and leftovers all the time. I think Ill try it when I get home, as I am almost out of the other bottles.
 
I just answered your question like a responsible person should..Personally I'd probably still use if it smelled all right and nothing was growing in it. When I was younger I lived with my grandparents after I got out of the Army. My Grandmother would make dinner for 5 or 6 and leave me a plate on top of the stove with some plastic wrap to cover it. Many nights I'd roll in at 2am and eat what ever it was..Now a days I think they can lock you up for a physic evaluation for doing that.

I appreciate your reply. It probably isnt worth it, but thats just how I am. I dont want to waste it. I had it a few hours ago and I am feeling fine. We will see how I feel during my next BM I guess. Thank you for your responsible answer

Ah Jeez my hemorrhoids!
 
When you're in your 20's you talk about pussy.
 
When you're in your 30's you talk about your kids.
 
When you're in your 40's....
 
You're  still talking about your fucking kids.
 
And the fucking neighbor kids too!
 
And then you're into your 50's.
 
That time is known as the Vegas years.
 
And now that I'm almost sixty.
 
I really gotta' know man.
 
How'd that BM work out?
 
Because.
 
Old people.
 
Thats what we talk about.
 
 
True story.

I'm surprised no one asked how the sauce was made. If it was vinegar, fermented etc. 
 
The pH was mentioned in his first post. It doesn't matter what acid is used to achieve pH what matters is the level.
