To eat things that have a eat by date of 25 feb?

[hattieboo2012]

I am feeling rather peckish and I have some tasty veggie kofta bites and some spinach and feta falafels in the fridge. Would IBU to stick them in the oven and devour each bite?

I wouldn't risk it tbh....a day or 2 over maybe but not a week...

if theyre not mouldy and they smell alright, then i would give them a try.

If they are veggie, then I would! It says "best before" right? If it says "use by" i think be a bit more careful.

I would

If they look, smell and taste OK they're probably fine. I would.

Hold on to your sphincter...

If you're not pg, there's no meat in them, you cook them really really hot and there's no mould then I'd tuck right in!

They are only a week over, they'd probably be fine next Saturday too.
No meat or fish involved, so eat them ( if you haven't already!) :o

If your fridge is cold enough they may well be fine. Mrs Cog summed up well.

Have they got mould growing on them? Do they smell off?

I'm with MrsCog on this.

So long as you're not pregnant or of otherwise delicate constitution.

If they look and smell okay I would bung em in the oven.

The heat will probably kill any buggies.

I would definitely eat them but then I am known for having a cast iron stomach

Let us know how you get on...!

Do they have no visible mould?
Do they smell ok?

Then eat them but I do like prev poster have a cast iron stomach. As long as your fridge is cold and you get them piping hot

Have you read the thread about what people can't eat cos they pikes with it?!
You'll be posting on it this time tomorrow

Pikes = puked

Also with mrscog...as long as you're not pregnant. I'd definitely eat them.

Given that they're veggie stuff, if they look & smell okay & you're not pregnant, I'd risk it.

Definitely not with meat / fish though. I've been caught out with that before.

I gave DD1 (5) a yoghurt with best before 25 feb today, she is fine.

I've just finished up some cheese I got for Christmas. Best by date of 20 January. It was fine.
