Meat Left Unattended for Ashkenazim

Question

Is meat that was left unattended forbidden for Ashkenazim?

Answer

Hello,

This prohibition also applies to Ashkenazim, but they have been lenient in several details.

For example, if the meat is found exactly where it was placed, should there be concern that it was switched.
