This is a very nice topic that every household might be affected if not be careful. This is what we called; “Food Safety”: It is upsetting to think about, but the foods you eat to stay healthy can make you sick. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to protect yourself and your family from foodborne illness. There are things you can do in the grocery store, like avoiding cans that are bulging or jars that have cracks or loose lids. At home, you should be sure that your refrigerator and freezer are the right temperature for storing food. Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods right away and throw away anything that looks or smells suspicious. If you think a food might be bad, don't taste it! Wash your hands well before preparing food. Keep your work area, wash rags and utensils clean and cook meats thoroughly. There’s a motto in food safety; “ if you’re in doubt, throw it out.”

Sometimes I am in doubt...but my taste is not...what should i do then?
As long as you’re in doubt of something please don’t eat. You might be in trouble. Sometimes our taste don’t know the danger of what we eat. So, we must also use our brain to evaluate what is good or bad to happen.
Maybe I should follow your advice...coz sometimes after eating it...I always felt that i want to puke...
Yap! That’s the motto in food handling and follow your instinct. “ if you’re in doubt, you should throw it out.” No if’s and but’s.

Yap! Better safe than never.
You're right...safety first..
