Would you eat a ready meal 6 days out of date?

[ghtt]

A no meat ready meal is 6 days out of date would you eat it?

🤮

Yes definitely if I wanted to be ill.

A chilled one? 6 days nope.

Yeah if I was trying to get out of going to work the next day

No.

Depends how hungry I was! Seriously though if it smelt ok I probably would.

Depends on what it consists of.

no absolutely not, ready meals have a very high chance of causing food poisoning if out of date

stuff is already cut up, loads of surface area to grow nasties, probably wet as well

No way

I'm normally quite relaxed about use by dates but this is a step too far! Is there meat in it?

also, if it is already cooked and just need reheating, the cells in the plant material have already been dead a long time, as opposed to fresh uncut veg when the cells in the plant material may still be alive weeks after sell by dates

You literally had to only read the first 3 words of OP’s post to get the answer to your question.

I am pretty lax about best before dates but that would be too long for me. 1 or 2 days at a stretch

I don’t think I’d risk it.

No I wouldn’t, and I’m fairly relaxed about these things, not just because it could make you sick. The nutritional value is likely to be minimal too.

I wouldn't but my partner probably would if it didn't include any meat or dairy.

Yes I'm usually quote relaxed but that's a bit too long I doubt it would taste very nice

It was a pesto pasta ready meal, took your advice and am having fish pie from freezer instead!

youve made the right decision, pasta and rice are particularly dangerous

Bit late but no. It would have been made about three weeks ago?

Pesto always goes mouldy even in a jar.

Pesto pasta I would

but if it was a creamy sauce I wouldn’t

Yes - so long as it smelled ok and hadn't changed texture.

I frequently eat Yoghurt, Cream, Cheese that is way more out of date than that. If veg has gone slimy or the meal is separating I would be more wary

I’d freeze it and the eat it but I like to live dangerously

No meat, and the plastic on top hadn't swelled? I'd probably eat it.

Yes, wouldn’t think twice.

No.
