Would you cook and eat mince with use by date of yesterday?

[JoanThursday1972]

Or throw it?

I absolutely would.

I’d eat it.

As long as looked OK , had been kept in the fridge and didn't smell, then yes.

As long as you cook it thoroughly it will be absolutely fine (as long as it has been stored correctly up 'til now)

Yes, of course. As long as it looked & smelled OK.

If it's still red or pink - yes. If brown and smelling vinegary - no.

Yes if its been in the fridge and smells ok.

I wouldn't but I'm OTT about dates. I would imagine it's fine

If it smells fine then it is fine.

Why would anyone throw it?

I'll use meat two days out of date without worrying. If it's three days over then I'll keep sniffing it during cooking and make sure I have a back up of a 5 minute stir fry just in case.

Yes beef I always use a few days over if it hasn’t gone brown.

Beef or venison mince, yes

Pork or poultry no

Lamb depends on how it looks/smells

I would eat it

I would deploy my senses, and take it from there.

As long as it doesn't smell funny, yes.

Yes, of course. It doesn't go off at the stroke of midnight but it does make a difference how you have stored it. The thing with meat is that you can usually tell if it's off. Just sniff it.

No as mince goes off quicker than other meat types

I’d assume it’s fine unless it smells or looks off.

No use by means just that.

Yes unless it smells odd

If you had bought it from a butchers shop and kept in fridge for a couple of days you'd use it wouldn't you? beef mince will be fine.

I wouldn't hesitate.
I get my meat from the local butcher so no use by dates and if it looks fine (I've had nasal problems so absolutely no sense of smell) then in my extra large tummy it goes 🤣

Wouldnt even think twice!

Have done this with beef including mince plenty of times, always fine. Would never with poultry, pork or fish though.

Yep with no problems unless it wiffed when I opened the pack.

It makes me wonder how people nowadays would of survived 10/15 ish years ago when display until / eat by / use by / best before were not a thing . ( or at least not as common )
And fridges were no where near as efficient.
