Food safety is a top priority, and leaving perishable food items, such as fish patties, in the temperature danger zone (between 40°F/4°C and 140°F/60°C) for an extended period can potentially lead to bacterial growth and foodborne illnesses.
The general recommendation is to discard any perishable food that has been left in the temperature danger zone for more than two hours. In your case, since the fish patties were left out for 7 hours, there is a higher risk of bacterial growth, and it's advisable to err on the side of caution and not consume them.
To ensure food safety, it's best to follow the guidelines provided by the food manufacturer, which may be available on the packaging or their website. If you have any doubts or concerns, it's always a good idea to prioritize your health and dispose of the fish patties to avoid any potential foodborne illness.
