Tag: Rotten banana

According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, some fungal diseases affecting bananas, while unappealing to eat, are not a threat to human health. However, intentionally consuming a truly rotten banana—not just an overripe one—can lead to unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms and potential food poisoning, making it crucial to know the difference and what happens if I ate a bad banana.

Surprisingly, many people incorrectly discard perfectly good overripe bananas while being unaware of the true danger signs of spoilage. This guide will help you understand at what stage you should not eat a banana, distinguishing between harmless changes and genuine health risks.
