Oh wise MNers I'm not sure on this one so I'm appealing to your collective wisdom!
Teabags went out of date Nov 2024, there's enough left that I'd finish them around mid Feb. Are they "safe" to drink or should I bin them? I do have more so I wouldn't be without a cuppa

YABU bin them

YANBU give your head a wobble, they are fine to drink go put the kettle on

Out of date tea bags are the worst. Taste grim. Why would you do that to yourself?

I’d definitely carry on using them . Although at work we accidentally used some extremely out of date tea bags and they didn’t taste right. So I’d carry on using them until then !

I don't think I've ever checked the date on teabags. They'll be fine.

Fine to use.

I’m cautious with food but this one is a little silly OP. Flavour may decline (unlikely), they will be fine. I’d be very surprised if it’s a use by date anyway

Fine, if it was a couple of years I would say open one and check for insects but it's just a few weeks
