is it safe 2eat bread that smells like finger nail polish?
Is it safe to eat bread that smells like nail polish? It's not moldy or very old, but it does have an odd smell, and I'm a little worried. However, I'm also quite hungry! Can I eat it?

Nail polish remover is usually acetone, and that's probably the chemical being released by the mold in your bread. Although the mold is most likely harmless, there are a few nasty molds that infect grains. Acetone itself is toxic, but the levels in your bread are probably too low to do any damage.
I found this site that says an acetone smell is a common problem in the early stages of creating a sourdough starter:

I just had bread like that the other day. It was a fresh baked Italian loaf about 3 days old. I ended up eating it (I made a hamburger and need something to eat it on).
I didn't get sick. But I'm a beast. I wouldn't eat it if I were you. It's not worth the risk.
lol. sometimes food can go bad before the expiration date. ive had moldy bread 2 days after being purchased. so if it smells funky dont eat it. you might end up with food posoning or an infection. i would eat something else if i were you
I just had 4 slices like that today before looking up this question on here. So far no problem-o, but now that I know it could very well be mold, I am giving it up.
Actually yeah, it's fine to eat. Mine smelled like that but tasted just fine and didn't do me any damage.
There is a lot of different breads out there. I have had one that smells weird, but it was fine. Go ahead.
My bread smelled like that the other day, I tossed it, wouldn't recommend eating it!
AHHH.! OMG that happened to me ALL last year at lunch, i would open my sadwitch & it would like smell like that, i wouldn't eat it. But i just found out it may be molded, & showing signs for starting to mold, i would just throw the whole thing away.!

Are you seriously asking this question? Why would you eat ANYTHING that smells like that? You need to find some other way to get attention.
