Use by

[Icycloud]

It’s fish cakes, their use by is today. Is it ok to eat them today?

Of course, unless they smell bad

Why on earth wouldn't it be OK?

In what world would "use by 20th August" not mean...um...use by 20th August?

It's not some sort of cryptic puzzle to catch you out.

Not this again.

There was a thread asking the same question about a ready meal or something a few days ago.

What has happened to make people ask questions like this about food?

It's fine.
