Finally found Greek yogurt in Independence last night. I planned on finding a merinade recipe for it , and maybe eat some. Got up at 7 and realized i'd left it sitting outside on the table by the trailer and the temps were 50 ish. Is it still safe to eat/use?. You my brethren are , i think , pro's at knowing food safety , and my first choice for answers. What do u think? Would you use it?

P.S. unopened !

You should be fine. The whole reason yogurt came about was as a preservative technique for milk. The bacteria that makes it yogurt should keep any of the bad stuff from moving in. I wouldn't leave it on the counter for a week, but I don't think overnight at 50˚ is going to cause any problems.
