Have you ever bought anything past its best before date?

Bought some spicy dried beans and cashew nuts to snack on. Don't know what made me check the date whilst I was eating them. They are three weeks past their best before date. I only bought them yesterday. It's probably my imagination but now by stomach is hurting!!

I buy stuff from Approved Foods on a regular basis and I've never been poorly from them. However, they are very clear that their products are out of date. If this wasn't marked as being out of date then the store in question could be in real trouble with Trading Standards.

Best before is different to use by. You're more than likely absolutely fine.

Loads! I used Approved Food and now we have a Best Before warehouse in our town. Its good for things like pasta etc, as it might have just lost a bit of taste but all will be fine!

The pain is 100% psychosomatic. ‘Best before’ means exactly that - they are best before that date but still fine after.

Plus nuts and dried beans really don’t go off.
