To use pasta bake sauce...

[mamaAJ]

That went out of date in December 2019?

It's Tuna Pasta Bake sauce in a jar, it doesn't contain any tuna it's basically creamy tomato sauce.

It will only say Best Before, not Use By - so you’re fine

Should be ok

I would! Those sauces are long-life, not 'fresh'. Open it, look at it, smell it, taste it. If all of the above seem fine, then it's fine!

It’s “best before” not “kills you after”

It's fine go for it.

I used tinned tomatoes that had a best before of Sept 2019 and it was fine!

Definately. But I'm eying up a macaroni cheese packet mix ive just found from 0ct 2018

I cleaned out my cupboard at the start of lockdown and have successfully used a lot of ‘best before’ items including some 3 year old cake mixes. All has been perfect.

It will definitely be fine.

I’m jealous now. I want some....

Just used some 2015 rice wraps. All good.

Yeah it’ll be fine. I used a spice mix that was best before August 2018 earlier in the week. We lived to tell the tale.

Since lockdown we have used no end of out of date/ past their best before date tins and packets.
Wouldn’t serve them up to other people but my partner and I have been absolutely fine and they have all tasted great 😁

Yeah I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

I'm sure it'll be fine - more worried about the fact it's a 'tuna pasta bake' - love tuna, love pasta bake - just not in that combination . Must admit to using way out of date tick/flea application on dog today......

Absolutely, yes. If it’s in a properly sealed jar and the metal lid hasn’t blown it will be absolutely fine. You can usually tell by the colour change of anything in a jar or bottle if it’s gone past being useable.

@AuditAngel that cracked me up

You'll be fine OP!

I did a huge Coronavirus kitchen clear-out and reshuffle the other day. I came across a jar of chicken Bovril from 2011. 😁

We are having Xmas pudding with brandy sauce that went out of date inJanuary!

How out of date is acceptable? 2017? I’ve got sweetcorn and tuna (not in the same tin) out of date

🤢

Of course it'll be fine. I wouldn't hesitate.

It will be fine. Open it and it smells and looks ok then it's fine.

It will be fine.

I will eat food with BB dates that are years out of date and nothing bad has ever happened to me.

The only things I'm careful with are fresh meat & fish.

I'm another that is doing corona roulette, as far as I'm concerned bbf just means it may not taste as good. Have recently eaten bbf 2009 and load of bbf 2011. Also hace eaten frozen foods that say use by June... No year date so fuck knows when I froze it.
