Ate guacamole that's been open for 4 months

🤢🤢 had Mexican and used a squeezy tesco guacamole and sour cream dip from the fridge that was half used. Thought it was from last week.

Husband then said after we've finished that the co-op ones are the ones we bought last week and that these ones are from months ago. Atleast four. Says use within a week

Am I going to get food poisoning? Is it a bacteria haven? It didn't taste bad as we didn't notice. I feel sick now I know..

I am sure you will be fine! Might have the shits for a bit, but you will be okay

Yeah that's not good

Is it bad enough I should make myself sick? I'm breastfeeding a newborn and don't want to risk anything

How do you stop your guacamole going brown after it’s been open more than half an hour?

caggie3 · 01/03/2023 19:18

Was the squeeze tube kind not a fresh tub Sad

Aah, sorry I’m not helping

The squeezy kind have tons of preservatives. They're not even refrigerated in the shop. You will be absolutely fine :)

I think those are so full of chemicals you'll be fine. The fresh stuff would have long gone mouldy. You'll be fine I'm sure.

If you mean the shelf stable type then I can't imagine it will be that bad tbh it will probably. If effect you at all

If it wasn't fizzy, you'll be fine

Pretty sure I've eaten that stuff months old.

You'll be fine. People keep Mayo in the cupboard and just eat it till it's finished. For months. Even in the summer!

I know this as I used to work on the hellmans care line. We never got any food poisoning calls and it's just eggs and oil.
