Throw out any aged, moldy or inedible food, bagging securely to prevent leakage or mold distribution.

Discard hastily or restock at your own risk.
• Don't be bashful about throwing away the items that you never use. Those pickles that have been sitting in the back of the fridge before grandma got her denturesprobably got to go, unless you accidentally want to invite disaster.
