I made a batch of pasta salad last Saturday, five days ago. It is bowtie pasta,
mayonaise, chunk light tuna in water, salt and pepper. What's the refrigerated
shelf life? I had some Sunday and haven't had a chance to eat it again and I
hate to see it go to waste.

The tuna is likely bad.

I go by smell. A week should smell sour by now. Toss it.

When in doubt, throw it out.

I never keep anything with cooked meat or cooked eggs in it more than 3 days.

6 days, maybe 7 at the very worst. If you are neat, and don't cross
contaminate stuff, and kept it covered and refrigerated all the time, I'd
say you'd be okay with one more day.

If your mind is questioning the safety you might as well throw it out.
You already suspect that it is past the good eats stage and you will
be uncomfortable eating it.
