Fascinating "will this be ok to eat" thread - sealed tub couscous with roast veg

Torn - it's 5 days after the use by date.
NOT THE BEST BEFORE DATE BUT THE USE BY DATE.
it should be fine shouldn't it?!

Course it will.

If there is no meat or dairy then yes, should be fine.

Open it, look at it, smell it and decide from that.

It should be ok. If it jumps out of the pot or engages you in conversation, then best not.

Thanks for the quick replies - non sealed black pudding slices would have been another matter wouldn't it?
