Why could a food that does not smell bad be as dangerous to eat as a spoiled food in terms of causing food borne illness?
Some harmful bacteria can be present at low enough numbers in food to cause illness when ingested. These same bacteria may not produce smelly by-products that give foods an off taste. For example, as little as 1000 Salmonella bacteria may be enough to cause food borne illness.
