How can I tell if a jar of pickles is still good?
assistant
To determine if a jar of pickles is still good, check the lid for any signs of spoilage such as mold or discoloration. If there are no visible signs of spoilage, then you can open the jar and smell the pickles to see if they have an odor of fermentation. If the pickles do not have an off-putting smell, it's likely that they are still safe to eat.
