...a tin of condensed milk that went out of date in may 2017.

Seems wrong when I could have caramel and stewed apple for my tea.

I’d eat it. Tinned stuff usually lasts pretty well. Open it and see if it looks ok

HoldingTheLineWinston · 29/04/2018 13:05

No, it's full of sugar, a preservative.

VimFuego101 · 29/04/2018 13:10

As long as the tin is intact I'd eat it. I'm pretty sure it would be good for another 10 years yet.

2 for and 1 against so far.

I know it's full of sugar! It's Sunday dinner pudding though - the odd treat is ok surely?!

Um, it wasn't a judgment on the sugar! I'm not one of those mumsnetters! I was just pointing out that the sugar is a preservative, ergo it will be fine to use and I would! Confused

Actually I think that's 3 for, I'd add mine too. So far is a preservative so is to stop h bags goi g off. It's a 'Best Before' date not a 'Use By' date.
Go for it.

She's saying no you are not being unreasonable because the sugar will have preserved it, not that you shouldn't eat it.

Yes, thank you both.

Sorry, completely misread- didn't mean to be an arse!

Caramel and apple for tea it is then x

No worries Flowers

Speaking as someone who ate a yoghurt that was 6 months out of date, I'd def eat the condensed milk.
The yoghurt was fine, btw, and I lived.
