Using week old mozzarella

[BadAtMaths2]

I'm usually pretty lax with best before dates....but it's a soft cheese...

Open it still sealed? The fresh sort or the pizza sort?

If it’s unopened I’m sure it’ll be fine.

It is a week old or a week past it's use by date?

Sealed - just bog standard ball of mozzarella. Use by 25 May.

If it tastes OK, and isn't mouldy it's fine. I've found that out of date mozzarella can taste a bit sour, so that would be the indicator that it's past it's best.

It’ll be absolutely fine

I'd do a sniff/taste test. It's probably fine since it's sealed but I'd check it before putting a load into a recipe

Are you cooking with it or eating as is? If cooking I really wouldn’t worry.

TBH I’d still eat it as is too, as long as it smells and tastes ok, but those with delicate stomachs might be more cautious.

Taste and see... If it tastes good it's fine. If it's sour and gross it won't do you any harm, but you'll have your answer!

If the pack is inflated or it fizzes when opened then no.
If it looks and smells ok I'd use it if cooking but maybe not raw.

One was fine, I was cooking with it. The other had a pink line running through it so I thought...no...
