What I mean is when it comes to stuff that have a expiration date.. do you follow as the date reads?

Say you have bread in your kitchen.. you really want to make a sandwich but the expiration date reads 2 weeks ago. The bread had no mold and is not hard.. still looks fresh.. do you eat? or toss?

I'm one of those people that are very expiration date-conscious.. Haha.. anything that is expired I have to toss and will not let anyone eat it/use it! My mom on the other hand.. "There is no mold/it's ok!" thing.. Haha..

Well, for me, it depends on the food item...

For food that can turn moldy, then no, I only eat it if it's a day or two past the expired date (bread, butter, cakes, milk, etc)

For other foods, then yes, I eat it up to half year past the expired date. (chips, crackers, granola bars, juice boxes, soy sauce, etc)

Of course not. I'm like your mom, I think its all ok and just eat it. Cant waste $ you know.

I follow it like crazy.

Even days before milk is to expire, I make sure to sniff to ensure it's not potent with grossness.

The only thing I don't care about with expiration dates is cereal...

Did you know that bottled water can expire? o_O

i will toss anything away that have expired lol dont wanna get sick!! ><!

I don't really care but with bread, I'll only eat it 2-3 past expiration date. no more than that. Other food, as long as it doesn't look moldy then I'm ok. Haha

for me its like 2-3 days after
but for cheese nd milk -its only 1 day
but i dont relly look at the labels much one time i ate chips tat were expired like 1-2 months ago nd found out tat it was expired wen i was 1/2 done the bag but im a pig so i jus ate everything

yeah but my mom believes in eating everything bc it has been refrigerated in cold temp so nothing can possibly go wrong wit it >_> umm yeah

Most of it is okay as long as it looks edible, lol.
I fail in the kitchen, since my stomach usually wins over my common sense.
If it smells alright, and looks alright, I'll eat it. xD
Of course if there's like mold growing all over it, I'll throw it out.

i read the all of the expiration dates for foods before i purchase them in the store. i also closely inspect it before i even buy it. food can go bad before the expiration date so i try to make sure it hasnt spoiled when its in the fridge or in the cabinet. i live in hawaii and food spoils really quick.

I follow it xD
I get sick easily by foods that expire anyways so yea lol

For me, I toss anything expired, whether it's by one day or two days. Expiration dates are there for a reason - they're the dates when the food goes BAD or isn't fresh anymore. Why would you push it and still consume the food? You're putting your health at risk.

Funny. I just debated over adding expired milk to my cereal this morning.

I do not throw anything out until I:

a ) Do the sniff test. I have a fairly keen nose, so I trust it to tell me what's truly heinous and past due.
b ) When a) seems fine, I move on to a tiny taste. I keep a glass of water nearby, of course.

Yeah, this is gross to some, but I didn't survive college without a car and sharing a fridge with five girls for no reason.

Sometimes i follow it but sometimes i don't.

Most of the time I do..
I don't wanna hvae a stomach ache T_T

depends on the item of food.
if its bread/milk etc then i chuck it.
if its junk food like chocolate, chips, crackers then i just eat it

If it's bread I'll still eat it but if it's a dairy product, i'll throw it out ASAP.

oh god i wouldn't even eat it on the day it's expired

haha, i'm like your mom XD if it does smell or look bad, then i'll still eat it ..

nah.. i figured if you eat stuff it'll eventually go out the other way...so what's the problem =_=?

follow. why? I just ate an expire bagel this morning because it was like 3 days over due but I was hungry and now my stomach hurt like hell

I always toss out expired food.

Yupp xDD.
I'm scared of eating something thats expired because I don't want to be sick.
But sometimes if the food isn't too long expired or looks good...
I`ll eat it

As long as it still looks okay and doesn't smell/taste bad, then I'll eat it.
I have a very strong stomach. I've eaten expired bread, milk, chips, crackers and it's still fine =DD

as long as it looks good and doesnt smell its fine anyways i was told that if a label has best before its ok if its a couple of days afterwards however if a label says use by you have to eat the food before or on that date!

i HAVE to toss XD
thats jst the way i amm~

depends on what it is. most times i don't hehehe.

depends what kind of food. some food still taste fine after expired but sometimes a few days is ok but like few months or something, i definitely wont eat ><

I'm picky; I'd throw it out. If it's only 1 or 2 days, though, and looks/smells fine, then that's okay (usually).


muchlove!
-jisoo

if its like a few days old like milk then its okay.
but yah if there is mold on it i will throw it away.

I wouldn't eat it, I would throw it out.

If it still smells delicious and looks delicious, I eat away ~

i throw it out
because it's bad for you o_o

I don't look at the expiration date >__>
so yeah
I have drank expired milk before x_x




but my friend
her sauce expired once to the point where it had mold growing in it, "I think we should just scoop the mold out and use the rest of the spaghetti sauce."
good thing her dad stopped her D:

I am very conscious of the expiration dates. But my mom is different. If it still smell and looks good then it's fine. She evenboils one day overdue milk to drink.

i don't really care too much if its like 2-3 days. but if its 2 weeks old...hmm thats pushing it a little

i thought the expiration date was for the stores and it tells them when to take it off shelf, like a shelf life thing.

i still eat it if it's not mouldy and looks fine

same same

Ew yeah. I opened this bottle of water and left it there for quite a while, and when I drank it again it tasted like ink. And I had the cap on O_o;

Most of the time I always follow it.
But with that bread, I would eat it. But check thoroughly for mold or any signs of decomposition.

I don't really care cuz my mum doesn't care like AT ALL.
I swear I'll die of food poisoning one day. lol
There's like thousand island sause in the fridge now that expired like in 2000? O_O
Nasty, I know.
Don't know why my mum doesn't wanna throw it out, we don't even eat those anymore. O_O

yea.. generally, esp for dairy products. i just can't bring myself to drink milk that is past it's shelf date.. i just get really paranoid. but i eat the bread if it's not moldy-- like if you reallly want a sandwich and you have all the ingredients and the bread is alright looking, then i'll make the sandwich!

if it's veggies, and they still look good then I will use them
but for other items, no, I will throw them away at once, my stomach is really weak >.<

yeah I follow the expiration dates
pretty strictly
I don't wanna risk getting sick =\

I usually follow the expiry dates. But some things, I don't really care. Like chips, I'll still eat them if they're a year old and the bag's not open. If some foods still look good and don't have mold, I'll eat it.

^basically what you said (=
i can't stand putting expired food
into my mouth. if i do, i'll just
end up barfing. i mean, your
naked eye can't see everything
so it doesnt mean there's no
mold .____.

-Bee.

a day or two after the expiration date is okay with me.

I always follow it

if my milk is expired

I HEAT it to see if it goes all curd like

bread, if it's like three days expired....I throw it away

meat? not so much cos it's frozen in the freezer

I will only east food that's expired.
I have a few loaves of bread molding nicely to be eaten on a sunny day while I ride my donkey down the street.

i will not eat anything thats even 1 day expired. if its expired, it goes in the trash.
