Not Always
The appearance of food is
not always a good guide to
its safety When it comes to
food poisoning, appearances
can be deceiving Illness
causing bacteria do not alter
the appearance or odor of a
food That’s why cases of
food poisoning occur so of
ten If an unsafe food looked
or smelled bad, most of us
wouldn’t eat it'
