Was i ok to eat this?

[Rosielee93]

Not sure where to post this.. Ive just eaten an aldi's individual cheesecake and its use by date was 25th april and its now the 28th!! I didnt realise the date until after when i went to get the other one out for DP. Will i get ill from this??

If it tasted good I think you’re fine.

Unless it smelt or tasted funny I'm sure it's absolutely fine and you will be fine.

We eat out of date food all the time, it's just a guide.

No you won't get ill.
Let Dp finish them.

It’ll be fine.

If it looks ok and smells ok it probably is ok. I ate two yoghurts which were use by 16th April on Thursday - so a week out of date - with no ill effects whatsoever.

You'll be fine, stop worrying.

What is it you think happens as the clock ticks over from 23:59:59 on the use by date, OP?

@BuzzPeakWankBobbly no im not one to think like that but its been 3 days now just wanted to check it would be alright because of the dairy.

If it had gone off, your combined senses would have told you.

We have evolved to detect bad food very well.

Of course it's fine

If it helps, the other day I knowingly ate an Aldi individual tiramisu that was five days past its use by date - with no ill effects whatsoever.

All the sugar in it acts as a preservative. I found this out making sugar free cake that was furry in 3 days! So the dairy( and you ) will be fine.

My dh regularly eats out of date food and he's fine, it's just a guideline and also for the shops stock rotation.

I had some vacuum packed chestnuts I found in the cupboard last week with a date of 2013. I ate them and am still here (so far).

Thanks everyone feel a lot better about it now!

I think unless it smelled sour or tasted bad it’s going to be ok- not that I’d actively chose to do it though.

Aslong as it didn't taste funny you should be ok

Forgot to say dp refused to eat his cheesecake incase 'something happened'

You could always fake your death and then eat his, too....

Unless it was fizzy then you will be fine.

I'd eat his

I had chicken that was three days past its use by the other day and I had no ill effects whatsoever and I regularly eat yoghurt that's more than three days past its use by date. Don't panic, you'll be fine.

I risked two lovely pieces of fish for lunch that were one day out of date (something I would NEVER normally do with fish after my Mum was food poisoned with it in hospital). I way overcooked it and now it's 4 hours later and I think it's okay...

You'll find out in a few hours.
