Fox News: Why food safety experts stand behind the 'when in doubt, throw it out' strategy
Food safety experts advise caution regarding expiration dates, emphasizing the importance of trusting your senses. Signs of spoilage include off smells, bloated cans, and frayed packaging. When in doubt, it's safer to discard questionable items to prevent foodborne illnesses.
