Out of date cream

[imdonefor]

I've just realised I've put out of date double cream through tonight's butter chicken. Ten days out, but unopened until today. About 100ml or so and DS and I have eaten it.

How bad is it likely to be? I'm going through a bit of an anxious period right now, and I feel bloody awful as it's an important week for DS.

Will it be okay since it was unopened, or is ten days too big a stretch?

Hi
Where was cream from. I’ve used out of date cream before and it was fine. I find
M & S cream lasts well past use by date.
im sure it’ll be ok

If it was really off I'm sure it would have smelt awful or curdled when you cooked with it or else spoiled the taste. I think you'll be fine.

It’ll be fine. With diary produce I go by how it looks and smells rather than the date.

It'll be fine. Cream lasts forever.

If it didn't smell or taste bad you will be fine. I find cream often lasts ages past it's date even when it has been opened

Okay, thanks for reassuring me! It was just Tesco cream. My stomach can be a bit temperamental at times, so I assumed the worst.

I cleared my fridge yesterday, and don't know how I missed it.

I used cream yesterday that had been opened for a week or two with a use by date of 30th January. Tasted absolutely fine. Cream seems to last for weeks.

I think it’ll be absolutely fine, you can tell straight away by the smell/taste if cream is off and especially since it wasn’t opened I reckon it’ll be totally fine.

Snap! Except mine was 3rd Feb. We’re all alive and well today, and 2/3 of my household have delicate digestive systems… you’ll be fine, OP
