Left a little plastic togo container of salsa out for a couple days. It started to bubble, also making a gas that poofed out the plastic lid. When I held it to throw it, it wasn’t hot, tho it was bubbling away. Why didn’t it feel hot?
Bacteria can produce gases without much additional heat, and fast.
In fact, though I’m unsure if it is tomato-product specific, I’ve had that issue with tomato sauces several times.

That’s gas in the salsa being released, mostlikely your salsa has gone bad. The cold is probably because: A it’s not room temperature and glass and metal containers usually are colder. B- if it got cold after opening it and you heard a gas leaving sound, then that’s expansion.

Cause it was getting faul. The gasses are produced by the rotting ingredients of the Salsa, not any heat.

Your salsa started to ferment. Bacteria grew in it and then started producing gases that were causing the bubbles. It’s like sauerkraut and lacto fermeneted pickles. They both bubbles.
