Not been opened yet but use by date is the 14th.
Are out of date chick peas very bad or ok?

No. Not houmous!

I had some houmous once that I didn't realise had turned and it tasted fizzy, if that helps! It was obvious that it wasn't right.

Oh no, is it very bad? I’m hungry!

No!! It goes all fizzy and separates, that’s too old, chuck it!

Definitely not with houmous can make you ill 🤢

Definitely not. Hummous doesn't age well.

If you can see through the outside of the tub and it looks as though it is separating then bin it. Also, agree with above poster, it does taste fizzy.

Depends. Some supermarket hummus has a relatively short date of only a few days, but others have more like a few weeks. I assume the latter has more preservatives.

If it was the long date stuff and it looked OK, I'd taste a little bit, and if it tasted OK, I'd eat it.

Possibly. I ate houmous with a use by date of 8th August yesterday. However it hadn't separated and I did a quick taste to make sure it didn't taste fizzy.
I have binned many pots of houmous that have gone off in the past.

No, I'd bin it.
