Why does brown sugar go bad? Can you still eat when it turns sour?

Brown sugar has a shelf life. Brown sugar is not suitable for long-term storage because of its high water content. Generally the shelf life is only 3 months. Food is rotten and inedible.

Food will go bad if it is not properly preserved. Many people think that spoiled food can be eaten after it is cooked, which is wrong. The toxin secreted by bacteria before entering human body is very resistant to high temperature and is not easy to be destroyed and decomposed. Therefore, this method of using heat and pressure to treat spoiled food is unscientific, and spoiled food must be thrown away, and never lose big because of small.

Extended data

In these spoiled foods, some toxins secreted by bacteria are usually produced, which will interfere with human metabolism and eventually affect the normal function of human tissues. For example, rotten fruit will produce putrid toxins that will paralyze nerves, affect the normal function of the kidneys and promote premature aging.

What is even more frightening is that some moldy foods will also produce some carcinogens, such as aflatoxin, mottled aflatoxin, clavulanic acid toxin, red penicillin, fumonisin, hetulin and so on. For the sake of our health, we must never eat bad food, and don't lose big because of small things.
