Just have a sniff of whatever you want to eat.

If it makes you feel sick don't eat it.

NOTE: This applies to other things as well as food.

The clue's in the description isn't it?

'Best Before' means it's best before - it might not be as strong or taste quite the same after that date, but it won't poison you.

'Use by' means use it by that date, otherwise it might poison you.

But they've both got comfortable margins of error built in, so smell, sight, taste and texture is the way to really tell whether you should chuck it out

Truth is:

Men with a woman in their life haven't a clue - they only eat stuff in date because the woman in question will throw out stuff past its sell by date.  And single men put the sore belly down to alcohol.....

C, C always C - unless you're skint, why would you take the risk?

See Laxie brought in re-enforcements... Wink

You're just being silly really. We don't throw food out just because it's a day over. Lettuce etc and fruit and all thet nonsense is fine after the best before date. so is milk.

Hell, when I had bad toothache I took those soluble tablets that were a year out of date...they still worked fine Smiley

According to "Food Fighters" on BBC1 daytime this week (Thursday I think) about 10 billion quid worth of food is chucked away from households, mostly edible and safe stuff past its sell by/ use by dates. Worth seeing if its on i-player.

If there's no sell by date, it has to be common sense.  But common sense would also say to me that the date is there for a reason.......

And as I suggested above wouldn't common sense dictate that 'best before' means that the product is - best before - that date, and hence by implication still okay to consume after the date as well?

Do you really reckon that an apple I buy today will be nice on Saturday but not so nice on sunday because Sainsbury's tells me so?

Boldie has a BBE date - I'm sure it's something like 1982.

Mineral water has a best before date printed on it - does that mean it's gone off after that date?

From bottledwaterinformation.co.uk

Why is there a sell by date on bottled water when it’s often comes from a source that’s potentially thousands of years old?
To prevent any taints or odours passing through the material and affecting the product.  Also, the CO2 in carbonated water will slowly leak away.

On saying that, I think that's a load of tosh and you do have a point...  As does pretty much everyone posting.  Just been a while since I posted and it's nice to see some healthy argument Smiley

Cosmetics often have a 'use-by' date on them (usually in months from the day it's opened).  The daily mail explains why:
