So I'm pretty familiar with Japanese food in general and I know miso being fermented is usually pretty bulletproof, but I'm in two minds about this particular miso. What's people's take on it. It's much darker than when I bought it (probably) and it is shiro miso, not red. Would you risk it or just throw it?
I would have eaten it ages ago, but I think I bought this when I was generally stocking up on cupboard supplies, hence it getting lost at the back. It's not been exposed to light and there's no visible mould or inflation of the packaging.

It’s turned. Toss that out.
Would
[This](https://www.hikarimiso.co.jp/products/small-size01) is what it’s supposed to look like.
Sometimes that amount of oxidation comes with good flavors, but usually not.
“When in doubt, throw it out.”
Just buy a fresh batch.
Honestly I’d smell and then decide
ive never seen it BLACK before… nahhhhh. it lasts forever with proper storage but my miso that i had for 2 years was the same color the whole time. i’d chuck it
