Oh man my paneer went out of date yesterday - tell me I can still cook with it?!

[IHeartKingThistle]

Was going to fry it in spices. Is it one of those things that doesn't matter, or one of those things that'll kill you?

It’ll be fine

It won't have become toxic overnight. Eat it.

I eat things well past their sell by or use by date and guage it by how the item looks and smells.

I've eaten paneer cheese a few weeks past the eat by date and am alive and kicking.

It's usually vacuum packed isn't it. Unlikely that anything could really get to it to go off. Wouldn't leave it months but it'll be fine this week.

Whatcha making with it ?

Nope. It became incredibly toxic at 00:01

There aren’t any things that will kill you a day over date. It’s fine.

As long as it doesn't smell foisty it will taste and be fine. I ate foisty paneer in a curry house years ago, it was minging, but I live to tell the tale. Of course i would send it back nowadays, but i thought i had to lump it back then.

It will be fine. I know so many people that won't anything that is even one day over it's use by date. I want to know that they think happens at midnight on the day of expiry. Do they think the food can tell the date and thinks oh I must immediately become poisonous.
