A food's odor or appearance is not a reliable indicator of whether it is safe to eat.

Explanation:

The nose test is one of the most popular methods for identifying whether a food has "gone sour" in the refrigerator. The problem is that it is not a very reliable indicator. Disease-causing bacteria are intelligent because they know how to disguise themselves and do not cause a bad odor or appearance. That is, a food with a pleasant odor and appearance may not be safe to eat.

Thus, the safest thing is to identify with labels the date of preparation of homemade recipes and consume within the validity indicated by the manufacturer in the case of industrialized ones. Even if the food is on time, temperature, handling and storage conditions can cause it to spoil faster.
