Would you eat an out of date microwave meal?

[OverthinkingOlive]

Lasagna, just a Tesco one in the fridge... due date was 30th December? It's okay right?

No

It should be, considering how processed it is.

No wonder there is so much food waste, just use your senses.

I’d say today is ok as only two days out of date but wouldn’t after that

Best before or use by ? Personally I have eaten best before quite a few days after as see it as a guide .
Use by , I'm more cautious .

As long as it's been kept in a fridge it will be fine to eat.

I’d eat it

It'll be fine. I've eaten ready meals five days after the date with no ill effects at all.

Yes. That will be absolutely fine

Yes. Absolutely nothing will happen

I would,as long as it had been safely stored in the fridge prior to eating.

Completely fine

It will be fine, nothing in it is very foodlike anyway. Even if it is delicious!

I'd eat it

I would.

Due date? If you mean "best before" then no

A day out of date I would but I also look for swelling of the packaging film if that happens bin it.

Agree with this.

No, I don't eat anything out of date.

Probably perfectly fine and I would be not be giving it a second thought.

One thing to consider with anything like this is how long the shelf life is.
If you buy it and the shelf life is a month, several days over is not going to be a problem. If it is a fresh item however and the shelf life is only 2-3 days then that is a different matter as extending it by a similar amount of time could be too much.
At the end of the day, just look & sniff and make up your own mind. As a PP said, there is waayyy too much food waste nowadays because people have forgotten to use common sense.

Are you sure it wasnt swapped with a vegan lasagne.

As already stated, just check the plastic lid is not blow. If it is, I would get rid. Otherwise, I would eat, but maybe give it an extra minute

Make sure the lid isn't puffy and smell it first. Should be ok if you cook it to piping hot.

I would do a visual inspection and a sniff test but yes I think it will be ok

Would you suck a fishermans friend?
