How far are you willing to go past the expiry date?
>>21970603Until I see mold. And even then I just eat around it usually.
>>21970608toughest customer on /ck/ bros
>>21970608
>>21970603For cans probably up to five years. As long as there is no major dents
>>21970603Way too many factors across a huge variety of foods to give a simple answer.But you already knew that, didn't you anon?
>>21970603In my country it's an Expiration Date. "Expiry" has always sounded weird since I first found out countries who do their dates wrong use it. The month goes first.
>>21970603>the 23rd monthJesus anon what corrupt turd world shit hole do you come from?
>>21970603It rarely matters but after experiencing food poisoning (not from canned food) I'm just not willing to take any chances. If food looks even the slightest bit iffy I toss it instantly. Some experiences change you forever, I hope none of you have to experience that hell.
>>21970635Yeah, that would suck to irrationally be super cautious forevermore. Like those people who never ever drink some spirit again because they got sick on it when they were a dumb teen. What got you sick was almost certainly nothing "iffy" at all. It was probably from a source you least expected. It's not recently expired stuff that makes you sick. And that's not why they put that on there.
>>21970646It was some frozen dumplings, no idea why but I think they had pork in them. They weren't even close to being expired but that evening I suddenly understood what people meant when they said they talked about it coming out of both holes at the same time. What a wild ride that was.
>>21970603I have a can of spam I have been aging for 6 years now. Going to open and consume for science at some point. How far should I take it bros? 10 years?
>>21970603Depends on the item but usually at least a week pastI don't even think the dates are a liability thing at this point, they're just to get dumbass boomers to throw out perfectly good food to buy more.
>>21970742I don't believe you. Just throw out that can that you forgot about.
>>21970603no hard limit. trust your senses, not an arbitrary line in the sand. if it passes the visual and sniff tests, it's more than likely fine. your senses are highly tuned to tell if something is off.
>>21970825This.
>>21970635I'm convinced I had some almonds that had an abnormal amount of cyanide in them. It was all I had to eat that day and I quickly descended into a short hell. Vomited so hard I popped blood vessels in my eyes. I'm never going to eat almonds again.
>>21970603As soon as I get meat, I freeze it so I don't have this problem. I defrost it the day I want to eat it.
>>21970603It reaaaally depends on the food, like, i've once had some mozzarella that was one or two days into expiration. It was so goddamn bitter, I had put it between some freshly baked bread, when I inevitably taken it out, the bread was absolutely unedible as well. It wasn't the wet kind of mozz that comes as those white balls, but a more processed type. I'd avoid ever eating past expiration date for dairy products and animal products as a whole really.
>>21970857I can't imagine canned bread ever tasting fine, but at most I assume expired stuff is going to have degraded in quality a bit, especially if it's still sealed. I don't buy too much premade stuff so unless it's dairy or fresh meat, I don't care about the date.
>>21970991At least it went to use
>>21970615It doesn't matter if there is a dent. Just eat it. >Inb4 muh botulism
>>21970857>Google canned bread>It's actually real>Not just a SpongeBob meme
>>21970603Until it fails the smell test
>>21970603look, smell, taste never had food poisoning
>>21970603If it doesn't smell bad or look visibly tainted then it's safe to eat.
>>21970603Not very. Even safe, you lose flavor. I'm not in fucking Kenya.
>>21970608don't do that, mold propagates through stuff, even the parts that look fine
>>21970646Rumplemintz man it's just the taste. Insta gag.
>>21970603expiry date on stuff like pepsi and vinegars are meaningless.AFAIK vitamins still work but at 50 percent effectiveness at worst. if they are not wet or stored for 10 yrs+++ they won't rot in dry pill forms. gummy vitamins will spoil at high temps.
>>21971161They aren't meaningless on DIET Pepsi. Let me tell you I learned that first hand once. Gross.
>>21971161Pepsi will not go bad (it already is by default) but it will go flat.
I recently used some "better than bullion" that was over 2 years expired and my soup came out great.
>>21971183Pepsi is the only good Soda. Kill yourself
if it looks, smells and tastes ok its fine. I spent about 3 months before my last move eating all sorts of shit that expired 5-10 years ago. zero issues besides damaged packaging. >>21970742i ate spam packs from y2k during covid, little stale but perfectly editable.
>>21970603if I see mold I bin it, even if it's only a little If no mold, I will always taste a little bit first
>>21970603I'll open it simply out of curiosity. Probably eat it regardless of the date as long it looks and smells fine.Allegedly, deenz actually improve in the can until about the five year mark.
>>21970603I can usually tell when something is off without reading a stamp by using my superior senses of sight and smell. If you're checking a date then its probably on something you haven't used in a very long time and should probably just toss anyways.
>>21970603I usually give food past expiration a sight and smell test. If I see mold or it smells sour, I toss it. A lot of my food is frozen until I need it so the date often is irrelevant since it has been vac sealed and frozen for months. For cans, if it is not damaged, the food is almost always safe to eat.
>>21970603>How far are you willing to go past the expiry date?canned food never expires.no food goes bad because of a date printed on it.since I live in the US and have not seen any product with an expiration date I don't just throw crap away because of a date.I once ate a yogurt that was 14 months past its best by date.
>>21970615>For cans probably up to five years.store properly canned food is good for decades.
>>21970742canned spam is good for decades.
>>21971161>AFAIK vitamins still work but at 50 percent effectiveness at worst.incorrect. they never expire.
>>21971126Your picture literally tells me the opposite is true
>>21971540those are roots inside, the food, only the stem parts would be visible
>>21971540Explain what you think the image is saying
>>21971621Roots are about the size of the visible part.
>>21971644I said explain what the picture is saying not mention an observation
>>21970608t. funguy
>>21970603I am not risking my health to save a few euros. Maybe expired food is safe, maybe it isn't, but tell me OP why would I take the risk if I can just go out and buy a new food that isn't expired?
>>21971671Butter the mould, eat the mould, shit the mould. God, life's relentless
>>21971671>Maybe expired food is safeFOOD DOES NOT EXPIRE
>>21970603depends on what it isrecently I picked up some salt for cheap because the expiry date was about to passI'll be using that salt a decade from now
>>21970603It's a best by date. Not expiration date. A suggestion from the manufacturer. In the US the only product mandated to have an expiration date is milk.
>>21972820Salt doesn't expire
>>21972837your reading skills have though
>>21972859Ok
I got 93/7 beef marked 40% off because it was packed 2 days ago. I just took it home, broke it apart into smaller packs and froze it.
