Would you eat bacon use by 9 July?

[onlyconnect]

Just that. Really fancy some but it’s three days out of date. Pack is unopened

Nope

Yes, unless it smells manky. Bacon has that much salt in it'll be fine for a while after.

Nope not worth it nip to a local shop and get some or get it delivered

Nope. But then I’m really fussy about these things because I have an autoimmune issue which means getting sick would mean a hospital trip so I’m ultra cautious.

Unopened pack, kept in fridge, if it smells OK on opening, yes. Once opened eat it all quickly.
If you can't manage it I'll come round for bacon and eggs and fried bread and... 😋

Yes unless it’s smelly/slimy

I would, definitely.

Yes

Yes

Yes of course

Yes of course

Still sealed, yes! Bacon has really long dates anyway, it's not going to go off in three days after a month long date.

Yes probably, assuming it smells OK.

Yes, unless it smells.

Absolutely not. It's got a use by for a reason, it's not a best before date.

Yes

If it's sealed, has been securely in the fridge since purchase and smells perfect, yes, I would. Bacon is a method for preserving pork so that it can be kept for long periods without spoiling - even without refrigeration.

Yes. Bacon is full of preservatives and it keeps for ages. Many a time I've opened a pack, used a couple of slices and left the rest of the pack for a while. If it smells okay and it's been in the fridge, it's fine.

No personally not.

Yes, I would eat if it looked and smelled ok.
I had an open packet in the fridge yesterday with a date of 21 June. We only didn't eat it because it had grown fur...
(Am aware my housekeeping standards are below par but fridge is stuffed with allotment produce and bacon got to the back.)

I would, and have… a lot of times 😂

Yes I would, if it smells ok.

I'd probably give a 9th June packet a go too, on the same proviso!

Yes this!

I eat things post sell by, best before dates, often.

I wouldn’t think twice, it will be fine.
