How Do You Know If Applesauce Has Gone Bad?
You can easily tell if applesauce has gone bad by checking its appearance, smell, and taste. If the applesauce has turned brown or has mold or bubbles on its surface, it has gone bad. If it has a sour or off smell or tastes fermented or rancid, it is also not safe to eat and should be discarded. Always check the expiration date and storage instructions on the container before consuming.
