Will bad cured meat give food poisoning at level 5 cooking?
If so how long does cured meat take to go bad? I just recently got the meat curing box made so I’m just wondering about a couple things.

If meat is not cured completely, it is still raw meat so it can give you food poisonning and parasite if it is predator meat. And because it is raw it is very likely to do so (55-95% depending on the meat).
You can still cook it if the box let it remove it (I had a bug where all my salt disappeared and ht meat spoiled and could not be cured anymore so I could remove it)

If the meat is cured and go below a threshold, my gues is it can still make you sick under level 5 cooking but you get immune after, I haven't low condition cured meat yet to test.
Cooking L5 - just got food poisoning from eating raw fat!!!
Well duh raw fat is raw food
Hello all, I was just wondering this, and couldn't find a solid answer. The wiki on cured meat doesn't say whether or not you can get food poisoning from deteriorated cured meat if you have Cooking Level 5, just that you don't get parasites. Also looked up the decay page on the wiki and cured meat is not on there. I have a bunch of cured meats that have decayed down to about 65% and wondering how long it's safe to eat.

I've got Cooking Level 5 but I realize curing meat may not count as "cooking".

As far as I know the only things that cangive you food poisonning at level 5 are raw fish/meat and fat.
Salt has been used for thousands of years to preserve meat before we had fridge so my guess is it doesn't give food poisonning at level 5 cooking.
I have been using my law condition cured meat to make pemmican bars and have been eating 0% condition pemmican bars at level 5 cooking without issue.
You'd better not bring realism into TLD, there you can get poisoned by maple syrup which is basically sugar.
