Explanation:

Food - borne illness - causing bacteria often do not have a distinct taste. Rotten - smelling, discolored, or bitter - tasting foods may indicate spoilage from other factors (like non - pathogenic bacteria or chemical changes) rather than being a reliable indicator of food - borne illness - causing bacteria. These illness - causing bacteria can be present in food without altering its taste, smell, or color in a way that is easily detectable by the consumer.
