How to Tell If Salami Has Gone Bad
- 1). Look carefully at the outer casing around the salami, looking for evidence of mold. According to the Murray's Cheese website, green, white, blue or gray mold on the casing is safe to eat. If you see red mold, discard the salami.
- 2). Examine the plastic packaging around the salami. Bloated or puffy packaging indicates dangerous bacteria present in the salami and you should discard it.
- 3). Check the salami meat inside the casing. If it appears excessively dry, the salami is likely past its prime.
