Any Q

Poisoning could occur days after starting to eat a supply of sweet potatoes as the tubers start to degrade. Clinical signs can occur within a few hours of ingestion of damaged potatoes, 24 h or several days after ingestion. Recovery can take 4-12 days.


Can I get food poisoning from sweet potatoes?

No. There is nothing worse than an undercooked sweet potato. Well, it may indeed make you not feeling well or even cause a light food poisoning if you're very sensitive to bad food but no nasty aftermath is possible unless you consume a whole plate of badly rotten veggies which is hardly possible!

When should you not eat sweet potatoes?

If the sweet potatoes start turning soft or mushy, they have gone bad. The same thing is true for sweet potatoes that turned a deep shade of brown to black. Check for weird growths through the skin or the presence of mold. If the sweet potatoes have developed an off-odor, toss the tubers in the trash.
