How to tell if fermented vegetables have gone bad: white film, mold, slime, and smell

Fermented vegetables become suspicious when they show fuzzy or colored mold, rotten smell, stringy slime, slippery vegetables, chemical off-flavor, or pieces that spent a long time above the brine. A thin flat white film is more likely kahm yeast: it can sometimes be removed, the jar walls wiped with vinegar, vegetables pressed under brine, and the jar chilled if smell and taste are normal. Cloudy brine, gas bubbles, and white sediment can be normal fermentation signs, but any doubt together with mold, slime, or putrid odor means the jar should be discarded.
