Can still use cream cheese that I have brought to room temp twice, a third time?

Question

I put it back in the fridge each time. Left out for 2-3 hours each time. Never opened it.

The texture might be a little  wonky but if it doesn't smell bad or it's not discolored you should be fine.

Side note, what is package best before date? Sealed cream cheese is usually good one month after the label "best before" date.

I can’t speak to the science, but I’m pretty sure it would be fine.  If it looks OK and smells OK then I wouldn’t worry about it.
