For the majority of food, the decay level is represented via the durability bar on the item, as well as a numerical percentage on the tool-tip. The exception to this rule is milk, which has a tool-tip message of Fresh, Old, or Sour. The durability bar is green during the first 10% of decay, and then turns red. The rate at which a piece of food decays is dependent on the item, as well as the ambient temperature. Light levels affect temperature, so the best place to store food is in a cool, dark place. These general types of food decay for non-preserved items in order of fastest to slowest: Raw Meat & Cooked Eggs --> Fruit --> Whole Grains, Flour, Dough, Bread, Vegetables & Soybeans --> Cheese, Raw Eggs & Refined Grains.
