Help - Can I eat one day out of date bread and butter pudding?

[Ivgotasecretcanyoukeepit]

I have a bread and butter pudding that was use by 27th April, will it be ok to eat today?

Of course it will.

Do you really have to ask?

Yep, enjoy :)

Fgs. Of course.

I will brace it then! I was just concerned as it is made with cream

It doesn’t suddenly become poisonous

Of course it will

What's with all these threads this afternoon on whether foods are safe to eat? Just use your nose & your common sense, fgs.

It has been cooked already.

I assume you are intend to heat it up again.

The amount of sugar in it acts as a natural preservative.

Enjoy your treat!

The reliance on best before dates is resulting in millions of pounds worth of unnecessary food waste
Last year 720,000,000 eggs - that’s 720 million eggs - were thrown out. The monetary cost is estimated to run to millions. Not to mention the suffering of the hens used in the egg production industry ...
If only common sense could be reintroduced 😐

It'd take a lot more than being one day out of date to stop me eating bread and butter pudding.

It is all the “younger” people I think. My DCs won’t touch things that are out of date, I have to do it completely by stealth even if something is just a day or two out of date. My DD also kicks up a fuss if something has been frozen but the original date is way past. Very annoying

One day? Should be fine. A week ago,I ate some houmous which was 5 days out of date. It looked fine,smelt fine,tasted fine. I'm still here. I didn't have so much as a dicky tummy.

You can probably eat one day out of date anything to be honest.

Cream is fine for a week or two after the date anyway, so it wouldn't be on the turn anyway.

Does it look strange? Can you see mold?

Has it changed shape? Shrivelled or ballooned?

Does it smell off?

That’s what I go by regardless of the date. I don’t even look at dates to be honest.

No wonder we have so much food waste.
Yes. It will be fine.

For goodness sake not another 'help it's past its sell by date'. Where is your common sense? Food does not automatically go off because of a date printed on the packaging!!! Provided it doesn't stink to high heaven, isnt covered in mould & doesn't taste utterly revolting then it's perfectly safe to eat...it's really not that hard to work out!!!

Jesus wept! Another one?
Where's everyone's brains this week?

How does the food know what day it is anyway.....

Where does this unthinking reliance on dates come from? It's bizarre.

Re eggs. I bought some fancy blue shelled eggs in aldi the other day, they were reduced with a week to go to the use by date because it is illegal to sell eggs with less than a week's date on them, which makes no sense at all because eggs are fine for ages after the date.

Well I just roasted and ate a whole chicken with a date of 25tg April, shock horror.

It will be absolutely fine. Food doesn't have the ability to tell the time so unless it smells off it is clearly visibly off, it's ok to eat.

Erm - I didn't eat the whole chicken!

I roasted a whole chicken

Ooh my favourite!! I'd definitely have eaten it a day ( or two, or three...) out of date

Our local supermarket chain (think Aldi type) has launched a campaign against food waste. Basically telling people to use their eyes, noses and common sense. The message is printed on milk cartons, written in their flyers etc.
The amount of people who are constantly decluttering their food cupboads by throwing out perfectly good food because somebody printed a date on the package is grim.

What Fireman King said. At a day over I probably wouldn’t give a second thought, but if I’m concerned, I’d sniff it and then scrutinise/ hold the surface to the light, to see if there any fungal blooms.
