Can melted butter with food debris sit out at near room temp indefinitely?

Question

There's food debris in the butter. My knowledge says that the oxygen deprived liquid gets bacteria in it and it turns into botulism same as vacuum sealed individual bags of fish.

My bosses don't care and leave it like this every day. The bacon sits there indefinitely as well. No date. There's no timestamp on either butter or bacon.

Is this safe?

Answer 1

Yes it can. It might not be a very good idea to serve or eat it, though.

Check what the food debris is made out of - if anything forming debris in the butter is subject to the "2/4 hour in the danger zone" rule, it will still be subject to it when swimming in butter.
