If you eat spoiled or rotten food, your chances of contracting a disease increases. To determine if something has spoiled, head to "Spoil" in the Pip-Boy Aid Menu to check which foods are about to expire first. Raw meat and flora take the least amount of time to spoil as opposed to if it is cooked. This means you'll also need to manage how long you carry your food. However, meat and flora you collect in the wasteland can spoil if kept too long without being used. If your hunger meter falls too low, you'll start to lose health, so keep an eye on it. Food in Fallout 76, like in past Fallout games, increases your health.
