Do you think it's still safe to use?

It's surely heavily pasteurised - it will be fine.

I disagree. Sell by dates are stricter than best before dates and they will have done microtesting to check the bacterial numbers for each day so they know that by X days, the product has a high bacterial quantity and if it is safe at those numbers.

Don't risk it.

FFS, the risk will be just about zero, given that it's pasturised, comes with a long date that's only past by 1 day and will account for people who's fridges aren't cold enough, leave their shopping in a warm car for hours or stick dirty spoons in it.

As long as looks like it should, it will almost certainly be absolutely fine.

Sell by, use by or best before? They are all different.

And at one day yes I would use it. It doesn't suddenly become toxic at the stroke of midnight.

Use by date
It is pasteurized but preservative free

When did you open it? It says use within 7 days of opening. Although if it smelled fine, I'd use it anyway at 1 day over the date.

(or I'd just use a real egg white, having paid no attention to the date on the box at all...)

I'd use it. I eat eggs well past their use buy date all the time.

Things don't suddenly go off on the stroke of midnight, there is a load of leeway built in.

AFAIK “sell by” dates are for the retailers use and consumers should ignore them in favour of “use by” dates. You’ll find using it after its “Use by” date probably just means the quality has decreased, not that it’s suddenly unsafe.

Cartons are unopened

Sell by dates are much less important than use by dates, obviously. It's only after the use by date that it should have a chance of being dodgy. I'd definitely have tried to use it.

I would.

Yeah I would as long as it smelled/looked ok

Unless it smells off I’d definitely use it. It doesn’t magically go off at midnight.
