I have a good reason for needing to know.
I wouldn't eat it regardless.

Only Romaine lettuce, that's it.

This is absolutely important for meat, but still important for vegetables. Whilst organic vegetative decay is not dangerous to humans, when it is combined with pesticides, salad dressings, and unknown contaminants from previous/neighbouring production runs it's not normally worth the risk.
If you do insist on eating it, make sure you boil it for at least 3 minutes in plenty of water.
Tapolyai - many packages do contain gases which reduce the rate of decay - but that's all they do - reduce it.
Never eat or buy any package which is blown up...
Unless it's salad stuff sold in what's known as a 'pillow pack'.

You see that with cheese.
Ya, that salad is decaying and releasing gases. Not only should you not eat it, I won't taste very good either. The after effects won't be pleasant.
Vegitation will just start to decompose on cellular level, when it's done you have kind of a cellular stew. Lot's of gases can be released, and if you think it puts out gas in the bag trying eating it... then watch everyone find an excuse to leave the room for some fresh air once that makes it's way through you.
"Eat Fresh"....as a popular Ad says.
I only ever eat two salads, one straight from the garden and the one at the "Outback".....both made to order! A few local restaurants also make "fresh" salads which are good.
Refrigeration is fine for food a few hours old, but, I wouldn't eat anything out of my fridge that had been there more than 24 hours......I even like the milk to be bought fresh daily :)
Your salad is well past its edible date, it is bordering on compost, which I'm sure you would never consider eating.
Although teh offical level of hygene was high, the actual was way lower.
On one occassion they took a sample pack to show a major high street chain their range, opened it and out fell a maggot!
This little creature should have been killed off in the washing process, so I tend not to buy them.
That is pretty much my policy for left overs. Not worth having a sore stomach to save a few bucks.
One of the neighborhood vagrants likes to get into cars in the parking lot at night and riffle through things, I guess to see if there's anything worth taking (which has happened). It's happened before (everything pulled out of the glove box, and assorted things thrown around or missing), but this week the lights were turned on, so naturally the battery went dead.
Having had an appetite for pizza and not being able to drive the car go pick up a $5 one that's real yummy, I ordered out elsewhere for delivery and got about $25 worth of stuff.
So then after a little while, I go to the fridge and see that package of salad greens (which is now in the kitchen out of the fridge and is now tight as a (fill_in_the_blanks), and start thinking to myself:
"How about if I put that salad into one of the nice white take-out containers with some dressing (along with a slice of pizza, of course) and put it out into the car overnight, so that in case the midnight prowler comes back, my guest will have something to eat."
if you think it puts out gas in the bag trying eating it... then watch everyone find an excuse to leave the room for some fresh air once that makes it's way through you.
You're bad :)
bobo, I've been worse, aging has had a mellowing effect. ;)
vince, it's actually a very good area, which is why these folks hang around here, where panhandling is pretty lucrative.
So I didn't take vengeance (which might have gotten the wrong person anyway), I popped the package expecting the contents to explode and fly all over the kitchen. They didn't, I threw it out and sent the car to the shop, just got it back running and with the lock fixed.
It's amazing the things decent people can think of doing when they get real mad.
