...out of date food?

I've got a sesame chicken salad use by date of tomorrow. I reckon it'll still be OK for lunch.

Should I eat it or not?

If it's use by tomorrow it should be fine, but I'd do a salad check rather than worry about the chicken, the salad might have gone all wilty and sloppy

You don't want a sloppy lettuce.

It depends on the quality of the food and what it is.

Yes. If it still looks fine and it still smells fine, then it's probably still fine

If it’s got today’s date on it should be fine just use your nose if it smells funny don’t risk it. Generally today’s date is fine though

The smell test always works a treat with out of date food and if you can’t smell anything and ain’t sure get someone you don’t like to test it first

Freeze it overnight, it'll have thawed again by lunch. Freezing prolongs the use by date

I regularly eat stuff that's past its date. I'll look and sniff rather than check a date. I've never had any problems. Luke

Just microwave on full power for 5 minutes, that kills all germs dead!

I’m ultra fussy about this, I don’t even like eating things if the use by date is the next day...I like to have at least 2 days left. I’m sure the manufacturers have a safety factor so the actual use by date is probably later than the one on the packet but I still don’t risk it.

My nan used to freeze everything and would give me food out of her freezer that was months out of date, she would have been upset if I refused it as she loved feeding me so I used to take it home and throw it out but tell her I ate it and it was delicious. Hated wasting food but I couldn’t bring myself to eat it.

Best before fine,

Use by date, use your common sense and smell. Use by means that.

Potentially batceria will develop and that causes the problem.

If it don't smell or look or taste as it should don't eat any more!

That's awful!

You'd be better waiting two hours.

For me it about how you have looked after it.

So was it in to a fridge ASAP.

And keep cold all the time?

I do my shopping strange tins well beer first at the bottom as heavy then bottles then dry goods, then frozen followed by fridge the frozen keeping it all cold till I get home oh fruit on top with bread don't want it squashed.

You know you don’t need the dates at all , you know if it’s good , they just disconnect you from food and make you anxious

Yeah, I know I’m being irrational and gullible but I can’t help it, my mom’s the same so I’ve inherited it from her. I’m normally a pretty care free and reckless person to be honest and it’s not in my nature to be overly cautious, but we all have our little quirks....

Awww it’s not irrational or gullible ,but labels are only there because the government decided people are thick and can’t figure out what to eat. Don’t let them win, smell it touch it and look at it before putting it in your mouth

Yeah I'd say not necessarily an irrational fear, not if you've ever had food poisoning from out of date food.

I had food poisoning on Christmas Day once, ironically from food at a Christmas party at a doctors surgery I used to work at.....luckily I didn’t have it too bad and didn’t feel ill until after I’d enjoyed my Christmas dinner (the party was on Christmas Eve) but my 2 mates who also worked there felt ill in the morning and couldn’t eat all day. I look forward to Christmas dinner all year so I’d have been gutted if I missed it haha.

I am careful generally I must say although I do freeze in good time to avoid going over the use by date. I do though have noticed issues with milk I must say. I am not sure why but seems to often go off before the use by date. I often only realise when it curdles in my coffee. Let's see how this sniff test supermarkets are bringing on instead of a use by date goes.

I've had food poisoning from freshly cooked food.

Plus I work with food.

Nothing irrational about not wanting to become ill.
