How safe is it to eat snow? The 2017 experiment showed it was safe to eat snow that was a half-day old, and safer to eat it in the colder months. But by two days old, the snow is not safe to eat, said Istvan Mathe, a professor at the Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania. “Very fresh snow has very little bacteria,” Mathe said Thursday. Mathe first had the idea for the study when he saw his children eating snow.
