Use by date?

[applesvpears]

I have some sweet potato ready cut fries to cook in the acti fryer. But they have a use by date of 23rd August. 2 days ago! Normally I wouldn't, but they look and smell okay.
It is 'use by' though not 'best before'
What would you do? Cook or bin??

Cook. Can't believe you'd even think of binning.

Cook! Don't waste perfectly good food.

Cook. But today I drank tea with milk which had a use by of July, so perhaps I'm biased!

Cook. It's veggies not meat. Veggies helpfully tell you when they're off by going mouldy. If they're not, crack on.

Cook, you can tell when veg is off, I don't ever look at dates on veg

I cooked, ate and I am still alive
