Why is this peach oozing from the top? Is it safe to eat?
I got it a few days ago from the store, and believe it or not, it was just your normal run of the mill peach, with no juice oozing from it. But now? Behold.

It’s rotten/fermenting, that’s why.
It won’t kill you but I’d toss it.

that’s the good stuff – because it’s pretty ripe that it can start to fall apart and have so much juice that it comes out where it’s cut. It’s kind of normal when something’s cut, especially too far – for it to juice like that. I pick fruit off trees – I know.
Still another person said it might be old – it looks kind of old, but it’s ok – you just want to be sure there’s no opening where some contamination got in – but it’s ok to me! I know I would be eating it in your shoes.

sugars. bacteria. i’d eat it. if you are a fruit eater, then fruit-eating microbiome bacteria are good. might survive thru stomach. might get a foothold in GI tract, probably won’t. but those bacteria eat what’s flowing thru you.
consider sauerkraut. the bacteria that make sauerkraut are already alive on the cabbage. we just toss chopped cabbage with salt, the salt pulls water and cabbage sugars out of the cabbage, and those bacteria start eating those sugars making sauerkraut
now, bacteria thriving on something that had once been cooked. those are to be avoided.
