How to tell if peaches has gone bad
Fruit storage is mostly a quality game — but cut fruit becomes a genuine safety concern. Trust your senses before any calculator — including ours. Throw peaches away if you notice:
- An off, sour, or unusual smell that wasn't there when fresh
- A slimy, sticky, or tacky surface texture
- Visible mould or unexpected discolouration
- It's been past the safe window in the table above
⚠️ Bacteria that cause food poisoning often produce no smell, taste, or visible change. Food can look perfectly fine and still make you sick — that's why the time limits matter even when everything seems okay.
Storage tips for peaches
Keep ethylene producers (bananas, apples, avocados) away from ethylene-sensitive produce — they accelerate ripening in everything nearby.
Don't wash fruit until right before eating. Moisture is what mould is waiting for, and pre-washed berries spoil days faster.
