How and why does food spoil?
Food spoils/goes rancid/goes off when microbes on the food begin to grow, and reach levels which would make eating the food unpalatable/potentially harmful. Most microbes love living in an environment which is slightly warm, with a food source and some liquid (the last two things are generally provided by the food item they are living on). Putting your food in the fridge or freezer reduces the temperature which the microbes live in, hence they cannot breed as quickly so your food remains fresher for longer.

Which microbes spoil food?
Microbes are all around us - in the air, the soil, water and our bodies. This means they can soon get into food and, if the conditions are right, multiply rapidly. Unfortunately, when certain microbes grow on food, it soon begins to smell nasty, look slimy, change colour, taste awful or even acquire a furry coating. The food 'goes off' - it is spoiled. Even though it may not harm us, it is inedible and must be thrown away. There is also a chance that pathogenic microbes are present along with the spoilers.

No it has been at room temperature too long and has probably started to spoil. Always thaw meat in the fridge not at room temperature so the food does not enter the danger zone.
