If a food or drink is "going bad," but hasn't "gone bad," is it still safe to eat or drink?

Yes, it's usually still safe. There are guidelines for food safety:

That being said, if I have a head of broccoli and just a few of the edges are yellow, I will cut them off and still eat the broccoli.
Canned foods are good for up to 2 years after the expiration dates.
If the food is cooked and has been kept in the fridge for longer than 10 days throw it out.
