to feed my DD's ready brek a YEAR out of date?

[macdoodle]

They wanted porridge for breakfast (they are 9 and 3), all I could find was a box of ready brek, opened but a year out of date (Oct 2009)!
It smelt ok, looked ok and I couldnt see any weevils, so I cooked it and they ate it fine. No ill effects so far.

WIBU??

Nope. Its just oat dust.

Fine, I'm sure(ish).

No bugs, no worries :)

Not sure, it may be getting a bit out of date. . Personally i would give it to the DP /DH but not the kids. His tummy is stronger.
Glad ur kids were ok though !!!!. . .

I heard on the radio (I think) about a woman who was given very out of date Ready Brek as a small child that was full of flies egss and then started throwing up maggots. I really hope it was made up. Put me off Ready Brek for life.

ugh thanks for that tidey
they only had it this morning so assume maggots take some time to hatch
Have binned it now!
