How can you tell if ready-to-bake pie crust has gone bad?
- Any visible mold, including a faint fuzz or discoloration.
- Do not just cut mold off soft breads and cakes; the spores run deeper than they look.
- A sour, yeasty or off smell that was not there when fresh.
- A hard, dry, crumbly texture, which indicates staleness but does not by itself determine safety.

Shelf-life windows come from the USDA FoodKeeper, published by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (public domain); we vendor the FSIS FoodKeeper dataset and refresh it in place. These are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations or guarantees: actual condition depends on storage and handling, and harmful bacteria may not have obvious signs.
