Scenario, no food in house. Kids, 3 & 1.5, have fish fingers, chips and lots of veg. Will only eat veg with 'chup.
One old sachet of heinz ketchup in cupboard from Maccy D's, dated 27/07/10.
To eat or not to eat?

eat.

NoahAndTheWhale · 24/08/2010 12:25

I would eat it (well I wouldn't as I don't like it but I would feed it to other people Smile). Don't think it would go off - just might be a bit less squirty than normal

You mean you've never dragged a bottle of sauce out the cupboard thats at least 2 years out of date and not realised till you've used it!
It will be fine!!

Eat, it's mostly vinegar anyway which is a preservative. I'm sure they have a pretty large margin of error on most use by dates, not much is going to happen to a sealed sachet of ketchup in a month.

Eat

Can always rely on MN!

Now, curry super noodles for me then....
Or stale bread and chunks of cheese...

Thought this was going to be a Dr Who thread, and was going to ask where you got ood ketchup.Blush

DSs would love it.

Eat, it'll be fine.

Ds, 2.3, is going through a ketchup phase and asked for some at MIL's. She produced a sachet from the cupboard and when we put it on Ds's plate, it was brown! The date was 2006! And no, we didn't let him eat it.....

Oh yes, it'll be fine.

Less sure about the 5 day old mozzarrella (sp?) I just fed my little ones!! Shock Confused

BubbaAndBump · 24/08/2010 13:12

Not knowingly I hasten to add...

sc13 · 24/08/2010 13:12

Eat.
