Detailed explanation-1: -The types of bacteria that do cause illness don’t affect the taste, smell, or appearance of food. This is why it’s important to freeze or toss refrigerated leftovers within 3-4 days.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the FDA Food Code, all perishable foods that are opened or prepared should be thrown out after 7 days, maximum. No leftovers should survive in your fridge for longer than that.
Detailed explanation-3: -As the dish cools and sits over time, the different flavor and aroma compounds mingle together and develop more seasoned notes. The individual flavors are still there, but much less pronounced and the dish is therefore more mellow or rounded in flavor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the FDA’s advice is the safest advice-no matter the food: Consume or freeze leftovers within four days.
