Can I still eat this?

Dowly · 09-17-09, 08:05 PM

I got a 400g UNOPENED thingy of minced meat in my fridge. The best before date (or last usable date in this case) was the 15th. So... can I still use it?

ETR3(SS) · 09-17-09, 08:09 PM

It's good.

Just remember to smell check it first...just in case.

and if you get diarrhea just put some in a box and mail it to ETR3(SS)

ETR3(SS) · 09-17-09, 11:51 PM

Yes, I will properly dispose of it for you.

But only if you send beer with it.

package separately though.

That's ok. I won't open anything until beer is here first.

Does the bag move by itself?

Yes, it woke me up and screamed "EAT ME!!". That's why I'm abit worried if I should eat it or not.

Aye Dowly. Should be fine.

Slow news day?

It should be perfectly ok, most best before dates are extremely conservative for companies to avoid liability.

Oberon · 09-18-09, 07:39 AM

I see no real reason why not. I've eaten worse

AVGWarhawk · 09-18-09, 08:38 AM

Normally food is good about a month after the last use date. However, if the meat is moving and bubbling when you open the package I do not recommend eating it.

I remember once we had a package of moist dog food. The package had a small pin whole. After about 3 days of having it my wife said she smelled something awful(it was not me). We found the package under the sink were we leave the dog food. Christ, it was swollen and like breathing. The smell was just nasty. The worst smell I have ever encountered. NASTY !
