Diced pork, dated 06/09, I thought today was 06/09!
Cooked since 9am in slow cooker until 7pm with a bbq sauce for pulled pork wraps?
It looked nice and pink and there was no smell or anything odd this morning when I opened it to indicate anything was off.
Would you eat it?

Am sure it would be fine but once I know something is out of date I can’t bring myself to eat it as I just won’t enjoy it! So annoying as sounds like you’ve made a lovely dinner!

I would definitely eat it

I have crohn's disease and I’d eat it Grin
Might suffer the next few days (I always do with pork) but I’d eat it and enjoy it

Absolutely I'd eat it. If you don't want it OP, we'll all pop round.

I would eat it.

Pork is not (in my experience) one of those meats where there’s any question about whether it’s off or not - once it’s off it deteriorates pretty quickly - you would 100% have known this morning if there was an issue.

100% yes I would eat it. In fact I will if you don't want it.

Thanks all. Demolished now and got appreciative noises from the teens, it tasted lovely. I’ll come back on and update if it has any untoward effects 🙏🏻🤞

Yes.

Badabingbadabum · 07/09/2021 20:50

Glad it was tasty. I'd eat it one day out of date if it looked at smelled fine just as I wouldn't eat it within its best before date if it looked or smelled off.

As someone once wrote.

It's not a Cinderella.

Dates are actually quite conservative and them and pack of baisc food knowledge cause incredible amount of food waste, sadly

It's one day "out of date" Confused
