Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria. Bacteria are responsible for some of the spoilage of food. When bacteria breaks down the food, acids and other waste products are generated in the process. While the bacteria itself may or may not be harmful, the waste products may be unpleasant to taste or may even be harmful to one’s health.
Detailed explanation-2: -It has a funky, rancid odor. It’s not the most pleasant way to tell if food has gone bad, but if everything looks fine and you’re still unsure, give it a whiff. If it smells rancid or pungent, or otherwise worse than when you put it in the fridge, it’s better not to take the risk.
