Out of date Mozzarella

[DivisionBelles]

Should I use it? Forgot to buy the mozzarella for my gnocchi bake, but found an old one isn't fridge, still sealed, not puffed up in the plastic at all, but dated to 12th April. Should I go for it? I don't usually worry too much about slightly out of date yogurts, cheese etc, but not sure about this.

I'd use it, but I'm very relaxed about dates. Open it, have a look, give it a good sniff & you'll know if it's off.

I would eat it.

It’ll be fine if there’s no mould.

I'd probably eat it

Taste it. It goes bitter after a bit, so won't be nice to eat.

If it's going to be cooked and it looks/ smells ok then I'd use it

It'll be nice and rubbery!

I put some on a pasta bake recently which was 3 weeks past its date, we all lived.

I keep buying mozzarella that goes off before it's bb date - taste some and it'll be VERY obvious if it's off!

How does cheese even have a date?

Id sample it and if it looks and tastes ok then it is ok !

This is the third thread about expired food I've seen this evening. What's going on?!

I'll eat it

I eat it but then get monstrous wind the next day

I ate some seriously out of date mozzarella once and it was the most disgusting thing I’d ever put in my mouth, and there has been competition. Open it, use your nose, then sample a little bit. If you’re not up chucking in the sink then go right ahead with your meal.

What's with all the out of date food threads today? I'm sure this is the 4th

What's with all the out of date food threads today?

Probably people having loads of food in for Easter and losing track of it.

Totally fine especially as it will be cooked. Enjoy.

DH are some cheddar today that went out of date on March 18th and he seems fine. On that basis I'd probably eat the mozzarella.

We ate it, but it was not good. It had a sort of sour milk taste. We've survived though but I'll have to make sure I check the depths of the fridge more thoroughly in future.
