Is the sniff-test sufficient or nah?
, I'm never sure how long I can eat something before I should probably toss it. In some cases, I've opened up containers of food that I've had for over a week and they've looked totally fine, but I couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy diving in with a fork considering how long they had been sitting there. On the other hand, I've also seen food start to stink and smell after only two days in the fridge.
So how can you know if your week-old pizza has dangerous bacteria on it or not? You can't, because the pathogens that might get you sick aren't visible to the naked eye, Worobo says. Old food could be dangerous to eat even if it looks totally fine, which is why it's better to use time as a frame of reference if you don't want to take the risk, he says. And, of course, if something *does* have visible mold on it, it's best to throw it out.
One exception to this rule is seafood, says Philip Tierno, Ph.D., clinical professor in the departments of microbiology and pathology at NYU Langone Medical Center. "Generally speaking, the most contaminated food product is seafood and it breaks down easily and quickly," he explains. "Fish with an odor is being broken down and bacteria are increasing in population.
