Asking because I bought a $100 ham yesterday and put it in the fridge but my husband left the fridge door open - it has been 25 degrees C here today - and I want to know what to do with the ham. Keep it and roast it on Xmas day? Keep it and eat it cold? Or chuck it? Thanks

Paul has not been heard from for a couple of years bt we don't know if
the ham killed him or not.

The fridge was probably still cool. The ham is also cured so it is not
going to spoil like raw meat. I'd cook and eat it like nothing happened.
