Do you eat expired food?

[Cloröx]

I do, usually the bread as long as there's no mold 

[Josh]

just go to the store. 

[ichabe]

Yes , it’s considered safe here, especially if you place it on the refrigerator you can extend into several days or weeks. For instance, palm oil that I bought expired last week and it’s still definitely in a good shape and condition. 

[bliaz]

Bread, sometimes, only if it is a couple of days overdue.

[305]

Most of the time the stuff isn't even expired and lasts a few more days than the printed date. Sometimes even longer

[Johnny Jacobs]

Never.. + I have colitis too so im not taking risks 

[dussel_06]

No. I’m afraid of food poisoning. 

[Helios]

I probably have but very rarely im terrified of getting food poisoning. Like even if its a few days from expiring im already giving it a side eye.

[Anomaly]

 

No!

 

 

[Take Me Apart]

not meat or fish but everything else yeah i can go a week past expiration date 

[Sombre]

Some things, yeah. Canned stuff for instance. Anything with diary is an instant throw though.

one time during university i was so poor that my housemate had a domino’s pizza under his bed (he had been at his parents for the past month) and i took it and microwaved it and ate it all .

 

it actually tasted brand new despite being over a month old which i was shocked about

[samsclubPRESENTSavam]

if it's something canned (within reason of course) or processed like a box of crackers I would. but I wouldn't mess around with dairy or seafood.

[Alldeezy]

Nope I even hesitate when It expires on the day or day before

I’ll eat most things if they’re only slightly expired and still smell okay , but not dairy.

[Martyr Of Fame]

There’s a difference between best by and use by dates. 
 

The latter, no. 

[flower moon]

depends what it is. if it looks good and smells okay, its fine. im mostly wary of meat tho

[Bey_Rihstan]

No. I rarely come across expired food. I’m really anal about checking expiration dates before even leaving the store sssddxv

[ToMmY]

As a general rule the more water a product has the more dangerous should be to consume past its expiration date, so it really depends.

 

As a cook I kinda have learned for how long I can use a product after its expiration date. A few days ago I used an unopened heavy cream can that expired last month to cook and it was perfectly fine. I know people who have used it even up to three or four months after the expiration date and nothing bad happens.

 

I would never ever eat/cook any kind of meat that started looking/smelling weird or that has a slimy texture, especially pork. No ma'am. 

 

On the other hand, for example, I would use sugar that 'expired' I don't know... 5 years ago and I'm 100% sure nothing will be wrong with it.

[TROJAN]

Maybe bread if it’s 1-2 days after Best By date, but other than that, no.

[wastedpotential]

It just depends on what it is and how it looks/smells. I'm not going to immediately throw something out if it's a day past expiration and still looks fine, but I'm also not going to risk anything. 

[TROPICUM]

As the icon and legendary chef Claire Saffitz once said, if it looks and smells normal then it's most likely good for consumption no matter the exp. date.

[prézli]

Sometimes. Never dairy products.
