Sausages past their best before date?

[Ikeasucks]

BFD is 2 May - yay or nay?

If you've eaten them already, didn't they taste bad? Are you sure it's not 12 may but the 1 has rubbed off.

I'm laxer than just about everyone, but even I'd not go past a couple of days for something like sausages.

I'd go a couple of days over for most fresh meat inc sausages but not this far sorry OP!

Noooo!

I had 6 days over use by yesterday, still OK!

God no! So many risk factors. The fact its pork which can be as 'dodgy' as chicken and its a heavily processed product AND nine days out of date? Yuck!

For the record, the smell test is pointless. Not all bacteria/spores release a smell.

no not sausages

Bad sausages can make your really unwell. No from me.

You didn't say if they were in the fridge - it's a no from me simon - or in the freezer... in which case I would.

Noooooo!

Ok - so threw them in the bin, appreciate the input. Now I’ve got turkey strips dated 10th and haggis dated 8th - so what’s on the menu for tomorrow!

I'd eat either of those, well cooked, today after a thorough cooking.

Oops, hit send too soon.

I'd eat either of those, well cooked, today after a thorough cooking, and a normal sniff test.

I need an extra fridge freezer in the garage

No, not that far out of date. Pork is funny at the best of times but these are 11 days over.

The other two things yeah, just cook them well.

No to sausages, haggis and turkey.

I still don't understand what the date was? Fresh meat shouldn't have a BBD. It should be a use by date.

@TerrorWig

Don't rely on the food smelling bad. It can be off and not have a smell. Just because it smells okay doesn't mean it's safe to eat.

@Ikeasucks I personally wouldn't be eating anything past its use by date. Not worth the risk in this current situation.

Sausages would be “use by” not “best before”?

They’d probably be OK but I wouldn’t eat them. We have Red Kites where we are , that’s the sort of thing I’d leave out for them , after I’d cooked them, obviously.

My friend accidentally cooked and served 3 week old sausages to her family. They all ate them and all were fine! I don't know how they got away with that but they did.

Exactly!

I wouldn't risk it.

I would not mess with pork.

I strongly suspected since the beginning that OP is talking about frozen goods and if yes, then throwing them is a waste and fgs Britain, learn about difference in dates
