Food safety

In times of increased food prices, there is the question whether old food can still be eaten. A nutritionist advises that we should never eat food with visible mould, slime, leaking liquid, or strong or sour smells, since there is a high risk of food poisoning. Also mouldy bread should be completely discarded, since mould spreads easily in porous foods. However, brown bananas, wrinkly apples, or oranges with dry skin (which don't show the signs above) are often still edible.
