My gran had a can of Harvey walbanger in her fridge that was about 20 years past sell by date.
someone drank it a few years ago just after her wake, fine.

tinned shit keeps far longer than the date on it provided the cans integrity isn't compromised.

ive eaten so much out of date food its not even funny, the only case of food poisoning Ive got was when my sister cooked and put daffodil bulbs in instead of onions.

companies put those labels on to cover their asses, take the days left till expiration and add 50% more. Then start sniffing.

don't be such a bunch of big girls blouses!

I thought canned goods lasted forever, but I recently had to throw out some butterscotch pudding that was only a few months past its use-by date. It wasn't spoiled, just discolored and tasteless. For some reason, the chocolate was fine, though...

It's like mouldy bread: white and blue mould is okay, black mould means it goes in the bin. I'm prejudiced though.

Furry green/white mould is mostly Penicillium so it will make you stronger!

The mold won't hurt you.

It just wants to be your inside friend.

I would probably sit there and eat them right then and there. Throw out the ones with visible mould. Spit out the ones that tasted funny and eat the rest. But only because they are strawberries.

Because strawberries are FUCKING EVIL MOULD DELIVERY SYSTEMS

I've always wondered about expiration dates on blue cheeses. Does bad mold war with good mold in some epic struggle for domination of the cheese?

Gawd! I've got eggs in the fridge that were probably laid by dinosaurs. They'll probably get around to eating me at some stage.

It may be BS, but I heard that the reason you wanna get rid of canned goods after expiration is that the lining of cans can begin breaking down causing chemicals to leach into the food. Here's some info: http://www.fda.gov/n...s/ucm064437.htm
