Question

any food that you are unsure if it is spoiled or not, should:

• be used if it had a date on it.
• be discarded or not used
• reserved for later use
• used today but discarded for later use

Explanation:

When unsure if food is spoiled, food safety principles dictate that to avoid foodborne illness, the safest practice is to discard or not use the food. Using food of unknown spoilage status, reserving it, or using it partially poses health risks. The option about using it if it had a date is incorrect as dates (like "best by") aren't absolute and spoilage can occur before or after, and the other incorrect options risk consumption of spoiled food.

Answer:

B. Be discarded or not used
