                                Approximately 1-2% of dates in a standard batch can naturally contain mold or insect traces, making a thorough inspection essential. Knowing how to tell if your Medjool dates are bad involves more than a quick glance; you must actively check for specific changes in their appearance, aroma, and feel to ensure they are safe to eat.
