How to Tell When Food Has Gone Bad

Food safety is for everyone and it’s important that we all know how to prepare and store food properly. That's why the IFIC Foundation has created the following videos to help you tell when food has gone bad and is no longer safe to eat.  The videos feature Christine Bruhn, PhD, Director, Center for Food Safety Research at the University of California, Davis, CA.  In the videos, Dr. Bruhn provides practical and visual information to help you determine when foods such as bread, dairy products, leftovers, and even pantry items have gone bad.  By following the recommended consumer guidelines as well as remembering to wash, cook, separate, and chill, you will be on your way to help reduce the risk of any unwanted foodborne illness.
