I've noticed that my food smells a bit like vinegar, but it's not past its expiration date. Should I be concerned about eating it? Is it still safe to consume?

It is not recommended to consume medications that have changed in smell, as it may affect their effectiveness. It is best to dispose of them properly and consult with a pharmacist for a replacement.
