Solution
There is a possibility of food poisoning if we eat stale food because there are chances that it can be infested by microorganisms. Bacteria and fungi can infect foods that are stored for longer durations of time. For example, the greenish powdery substance that is seen on stale breads is an example of fungus infection.
