What Happens If I Eat A Bad Potato?

What happens if I eat a bad potato?

First of all, you’ll know when a potato goes bad. Fewer things emit a more awful aroma than a bad potato. It’s nature’s way of saying, “Don’t eat me!” If for some crazy reason a person consumes such a gastronomical aberration, it will certainly cause you to become sick. That’s our body’s natural defense of rejecting spoiled or inedible food. But again, why would anyone even attempt this?

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
