I recently found some coffee mate powder in my cupboard with a "sell by" date of May, 2006. It tasted just fine.

The real Pizzashill would never. He only eats fresh food and exercises every day

Why does pizzashill get to keep his original account

expiration date

There is no such thing as such a date on any US food, not really internationally either.

Best before date is an estimation when something will start to loose quality. Use by is the same thing, they are not called the same thing because the best before is for stuff regulated by the FDA and use by is for stuff regulated by USDA. Neither are safety dates (with the exception of use by dates for infant food which has its own regulations).

Anything frozen is safe forever. If its not vacsealed its going to start having quality problems within a month though.

Anything canned is safe forever as long as the can is not rusted or bulging. Canning is an awesome way to prep cook months and months of food without taking up fridge or freezer space.

Dry goods are safe forever as long as they stay dry.

Anything with live cultures is safe well beyond its best before date, sometimes forever. Anything with very high salt content is safe forever, miso never goes bad if its stored correctly but has to carry a best before date because its the law.

Milk/meat you should trust your senses. If it doesn't smell right, is slimy or is the wrong color then its bad.

Stores are absolutely allow to sell goods beyond best before date as long as they visually inspect them but because burgers are r-slurred and consider the dates safety dates they don't.

Lucky bastard you got the best account

Past

Expiration

Almost as past it's sell by date as you are.

Could you please share your thoughts WRT weevils in grain products? Extra protein or nah?

"Sell by" doesn't mean "Best before"

Examples of commonly used phrases:

• "Best if Used By/Before" date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.

• "Sell-By" date tells the store how long to display the product for sale for inventory management. It is not a safety date.

• "Use-By" date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. It is not a safety date except for when used on infant formula as described below.

• "Freeze-By" date indicates when a product should be frozen to maintain peak quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.

Maybe print this out and hang it up in your store so you can remember.

I wish I could believe you were just trolling and not neurodivergent.

Is just a giant in disguise?

iirc the military tested expiry dates and they found that most of those dates arent accurate and that the food would still be good for sometimes decades later, however rhey wpuld gradually lose nutritional value. Same with most meds, theyd just become less effective overtime.

I made coffee out of grounds that were a year expired once and that shit tasted awful, so to each their own.

You use coffee for mating?

Would you say that @Pojom was your one true love and you are borderline suicidal every day, thinking of her?

Darn.

s*x'

I won't mix different tuna cans if they have different expiration dates, that's just how I was taught.

(((Big Creamer))) up to their usual tricks

I like going to my grandmas house (uninhabited since 2010) and going through the old pantry stuff

unfortunately she appeared to have completely cleaned it out last in 2001 so there's nothing older but lots of stuff from the 2000s

what's not rotten and mouse riddled (jars) I've tried to collect but the last time I did I left the stuff outside for a year and the labels got all worn off so I've been waiting till I have space for all of it to try again

but she did have these 'decorative' pickle jars in the kitchen all packed in '93 I haven't dared to open one but I bet it smells diabolical

I also have a bottle of picante sauce that's a bit personal to me because it was me who ate half of it then left it in the closet in 2014 only to find it recently

and another from 2008 from grandmas
