It is not normally a good idea to eat spoiled food because you could become ill. Illness is not guaranteed, since it depends upon the spoilage organism(s) and your body's sensitivity to the microbes and their toxins.

Yes! I didn’t know this until after eating a fresh corn on the cob several days past it’s shelf live - stored in a fridge. A common mould called aflatoxin grows on sweetcorn. The sweetcorn I ate had a couple of tiny darks spots which I prised out. I then steamed the cob and ate only half the cob. I felt ill that night with discomfort In my stomach which got worse day after. Now on day 5, my stomach is still delicate and bloated. Garlic and onions does seem to help as they’re both know antifungals.

So only eat very fresh sweetcorn that’s been stored correctly or from a good quality frozen brand from a reputable supermarket.

Aflatoxin is real and not tone ignored.
