Does the bacteria in milk really double for every 30 min its left out?

Yes!Milk is a bodily fluid from the cow. If any bodily fluid is left out unrefrigerated is has a high risk of a bacterial infestation. In milk the risk are high, but not as high as meats. Milk undergoes a process called pastuerization that alters the rate in which bacteria replicate. Even with pasterization, milk and other dairy products should be refrigerated.

No, because at first the milk is probably still cool from the refrigerator.


However once the milk is warm, the bacteria do thrive.
