Posting for traffic really.

DH gave DD some mini scotch eggs this morning, I'd gone into the kitchen to see the wrapper on top of bin, marked USE BY 23 Sept 2024.

DH insists that 8 hour doesn't make much of a difference but because it's meat and egg, I'm in a huge panic over it, he thinks she ate around 2-4 before I noticed, they was ASDA mini savoury eggs.

The use-by dates are just a rough guideline op. In truth, if they've been in the fridge, things can last much longer. This wouldn't worry me at all.

Your husband is right, they're not going to become dangerous in 8 hours. The use by dates are ridiculously careful on almost everything (and contribute to the disgusting amount of food waste in this country, but that's a rant for another day) - she'll be fine. It's cooked egg and cooked, processed meat, nothing raw or risky in there at all.

Don't worry OP,she'll be fine!

I'm a bit jealous actually,I don't live in the UK anymore and haven't had a scotch egg in years..

It’s not like they’re fine at 11.59pm and turn bad at the stroke of midnight. I probably wouldn’t have risked it if I’d have realised but the risk is absolute minute, especially if they smelt and tasted fine.

Go and see your GP for anxiety.

Do you have anxiety op? I wouldn't worry about this.

The mini eggs don't know what the date is.

How are they going to go from being fine at 11.59 to not 8 hours later?

Did they look and smell ok?

She'll be fine

This wouldn't worry me in the least and definitely isn't worth panicking about. It's not a time bomb!

You are being very unreasonable. She will be absolutely fine.

She'll be fine. Things don't suddenly turn poisonous because the clock has ticked over past midnight.
