The use-by date of a stored bowl potato salad is today. Can the be served?

It is not recommended to consume potato salad that has reached its use-by date. Potato salad is a perishable food that contains ingredients that can spoil quickly, such as cooked potatoes, mayonnaise, and eggs. Even if the potato salad has been stored in the refrigerator, it is still at risk of bacterial growth and spoilage after the use-by date. Consuming spoiled potato salad can lead to foodborne illness, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Therefore, it is best to discard any potato salad that has reached its use-by date, even if it appears to look and smell fine.
