Foods get spoiled much faster in the summer season. These tips will surely help you identify spoiled food and ensure that you consume fresh and safe food.

Can't figure out whether a food item has gone bad or not? Here are some easy tricks to find out

<h2>Foods get spoiled much faster in the summer season. These tips will surely help you identify spoiled food and ensure that you consume fresh and safe food.</h2>

Food items get spoiled faster during summer. Consuming them can make you fall ill so, you must be able to find out whether a food item has gone bad.&nbsp;
<h3>How to know if a food item has gone bad or stale</h3>
Understanding if milk, bread, chicken, and fruits have gone bad can prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure you are consuming fresh and safe products. Here are some easy tips to determine if any food item is spoiled:
Milk - Fresh milk has a mild, slightly sweet smell. If it has a sour, unpleasant odor, it has likely gone bad. Spoiled milk will have a sour taste and may look lumpy. It might also have a yellowish tint.
Bread - Check for visible mold, which can appear as green, white, or black spots. Bread should have a neutral or slightly yeasty smell. Fresh bread is soft and firm. If it feels hard, stale, or unusually dry, it may have gone bad.
Fruits and vegetables - Look for mold, dark spots, or any unusual discoloration. Bruised or damaged areas may also indicate spoilage. Fruits should smell fresh and fragrant. A fermented or off smell indicates that the fruit is no longer good.
Chicken or fish - Fresh chicken has a mild smell. If it smells sour, ammonia-like, or has a strong odour, it is likely spoiled. Fresh chicken or fish should be firm and slightly moist. If it feels slimy or sticky, it has gone bad.
Vegetable curry or gravy - Again if a curry smells sour or is a bit slimy then it has definitely gone bad and you should not consume it.
<h3>Additonal tips to find out if a food item has gone bad or stale</h3>
Expiry Dates: Always check the expiry or best-before dates on packaged foods.
Storage Conditions: Proper storage can extend the shelf life of food items. Keep perishable items refrigerated and store fruits in a cool, dry place.
Common Sense: When in doubt, it is safer to discard food that you suspect might be spoiled.

We all have days when we are either too tired or just not in the mood to cook a fresh meal. Taking some leftovers out of the fridge and reheating feels like the best fix in such situations.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But did you know that this habit could sometimes harm our health? Some foods can lose nutrition and actually become toxic upon reheating. Here are some foods that you should never eat stale!&nbsp;&nbsp;
RICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Spores of a common food poisoning bacteria flourish in rice. Cooking cannot kill&nbsp;this bacterium&nbsp;and if you leave warm rice out for too long, the&nbsp;bacteria actually&nbsp;get&nbsp;activated, making the stale rice toxic.&nbsp;NHS experts say&nbsp;improper&nbsp;storage after cooking is the problem here and not reheating. Either eat your rice right after you cook it or cool and refrigerate it as quickly as possible.&nbsp;
POTATO&nbsp;
The most versatile vegetable of all, even potatoes shouldn&rsquo;t be consumed stale.&nbsp;According to a US Food Safety report,&nbsp;storing baked potatoes wrapped in foil has&nbsp;been linked to cases of botulism.&nbsp;Botulism is a severe type of foodborne illness and can lead to weakness, speech difficulties and blurred vision.&nbsp;After baking foil-wrapped potatoes, never leave them at room temperature or in a warming oven to avoid germination of this bacteria.&nbsp;&nbsp;
EGGS&nbsp;
The American Institute of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that a stale egg or any kind of dish made of eggs should not be reheated.&nbsp;A germ called Salmonella can grow in stale eggs causing great harm.&nbsp;The CDC advised that you should not keep eggs or foods made with eggs warm or at room temperature for more than 2 hours.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SPINACH&nbsp;
Green leafy veg spinach is super healthy but also highly perishable and loses nutrients very quickly on the shelf.&nbsp;You should also never reheat an already cooked spinach dish as the nitrate content in the veggie can turn cancerous. This can also have an impact on the body&rsquo;s oxygenation capacity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
CHICKEN&nbsp;
If you have a habit of storing stale chicken and reheating it several times, then it's probably best to change this up.&nbsp;Eating undercooked or reheated chicken can cause food poisoning.&nbsp;US CDC advises that you must&nbsp;refrigerate or freeze leftover chicken within 2 hours.
