Salmon fish cakes two days past date, would you eat them?

[ekalf]

I was looking forward to these for dinner but the use by is the 2nd. They're from Marks if that makes a difference.
Would you risk it?

No. Maybe one day but even then it's dodgy. I might if they were M & S but not Tescos.

Best Before is not Use By.

Salmon? Do you have a desire to get food poisoning?

Yeah let us know how the food poisoning hits in a few days. M&s fishcakes are worth it lol. I’m just joking don’t do it

No. Never with fish

Sorry didn't read your post properly. . Hmm not sure. M & S sell buy date are quite generous I believe so probably would eat them.

Golly. I'd sniff them and eat them, personally. I'm pretty lax about dates. I'm clearly in the minority though.

No definitely don't eat fish out of date. It's not worth it.

I would if they smelt ok

100% no

You've scared me into throwing them in the bin. Food poisoning would certainly ruin the weekend. What a shame, hate wasting food!

No. I like to avoid D&V if possible.

I would - those dates are total rubbish. I wish they’d get rid of them. They just make people waste food and buy more. I’ve never paid attention to a date

I would from M&S. A friend from uni worked in a fish factory in the holidays. M&S bought the best grade fish and put a short sell by on. Other shops bought a lesser grade of fish and put nearly twice the sell by date on.

I’d smell them first and cook well.

Isn’t the eat by date determined by the food standards agency

I wouldn't risk it with salmon. Had a nasty D&V episode after some salmon that wasn't even out of date.

Just smell them if they have been well chilled they will be fine 2 days past is nothing, they are very cautious with the dates.

I think use by is safety and best before relates to when it tastes the best.

FSA input on date will be a limit I imagine, rather than a target.

Yup

No I wouldn't after 2 days with meat/fish

Just no, unless you have the next few days free to stay close to a toilet
