Can baking with rancid butter make you ill?

Answer 1

I don't know about you, but just the smell of spoiled butter makes me sick. I can't imagine actually going ahead and eating it. Rancid butter literally smells like vomit. In short: yes, spoiled butter can make you sick.

Answer 2

I have had butter which has appeared to go moldy; however, I don't believe it does so itself. It's more likely to develop mold if something has spilt on it whilst in the fridge. Instead of molding, butter usually goes rancid, meaning in essence the butter tastes and smells very bad, making it unfit to use.

Answer 3

Yes. You shouldn't eat moldy food. Molds are not the same; they're living organisms that change with each food product they're on. You can never be completely safe when eating food that's moldy or even marginal. It isn't worth it. Toss the pie and consider yourself lucky that you only have to spend a small amount to replace it rather than the thousands of dollars a trip to the hospital would cost.

Answer 4

Food born illnesses can be caused from foods which have spoiled such as butter.

Answer 5

No, butter does not mold, but will go rancid. It will also quickly pick up refrigerator odors, so keep it sealed up.

Answer 6

no. you will live a longer life
