I didn't put my groceries away, because I thought I bought all dry ingredients.

Four hours later, I remembered I bought buttermilk.

umm... I put it in the fridge just now, and, well, at least I also have to buy shortening, so I can just re-buy this if it turns out sour.

Except I don't know what buttermilk tastes like to begin with.

Buttermilk tastes icky by itself, so it may be difficult to tell whether it has spoiled by tasting it.

Leaving it out for 2 hours would probably be ok. Leaving it out for 4 is questionable.

The general thing with milk products is that... well, most of them are (afaik) safe to use as long as they don't taste nasty enough that you don't want to. After all, consider cheese...

Also this was sealed and pasteurized. So I'm going for it.

But it also means I can't in good conscience use anyone as a guinea pig, hence why I haven't tried to enlist personal help of any kind...

If you know anyone who has carved a raw chicken before, I could use their supervision next time I try this.

4 hours is fine for buttermilk. It doesn't really go bad unless it molds up.

It does get a little separated in the carton. Shake before pouring.
