Farmed organic prawns with sell by on 16th and it's the 19th today but they smell fine, would you use them tomorrow?

[WideWebWitch]

I think I know the answer but ds is asking to take them in his lunch.

[moondog]

Yes,if they smell ok.

[moondog]

lol at poncey lunch box though....

[CountTo10]

Me personally I wouldn't risk it cause prawns can be a very dodgy one.

[Carnoodleusfudge]

Yup - what's a day or two between prawns

[Katymac]

Only if they smell fine

[ComeOVeneer]

They may smell fine now but can "turn" very quickly, especially if they spend the morning in an unrefrigerated lunch box. Don't want ds being sick just as the holidays start (or any other time tbh).

[LadyTophamSortingHatt]

Not on your nelly mate!

[Bubble99]

Nooooo! Their little prawny bacteria may start cooking in his tum. Even though they smell OK at the moment.

[MegaLegilimens]

No - I wouldn't one or two days over the bbd but not 4.

[WigWamBam]

No. Bad prawns are naaaasty.

I might have done if they were only a day or two over, but not four days.

[MegaLegilimens]

I shall repost and add some punctuation.

No I wouldn't. One or two days after bbd but not 4.

[Pixiefish]

Not with shellfish nope

[Peachy]

No, not shellfish. They may be just about to go and as someone said, a warm lunchbox.... = idral breeding ground for nasties

[Hulababy]

No I wouldn't use seafood beyond its sell by.

[NAB3]

No. Especially no for a child. Shellfish is notorious for food poisoning.

[WideWebWitch]

Dilemma sorted, he's eaten them and is taking samosas instead! Thanks everyone, you're right actually, hanging around for 3 hours tomorrow morning = not bright idea

[Bubble99]

Bin them, WWW.

You know it makes sense.

[EscapeFrom]

wellll

The farmed bit means they haven't been hanging round sewage outlets... but I still wouldn't.
