To eat 3 year out of date corned beef

[Wdib78]

Do I risk it or bin it? I have a back up in date tin if needed, just with cost of living I need to be frugal 🤣

Go on. I dare you!
Do report back tomorrow though 🤮😂

Its likely to be fine in all honesty, scientists have checked stuff that’s been tinned for decades and declared things safe to eat, but I just don’t think I could feed it to the family.

Have you seem that episode of Friday night dinner where Jim eats the tinned meat? 😂I'm sorry that's the first thing that came to mind but in all seriousness, I don't think you'll be hospitalised.

I have yes, brilliant series ! 🤣
I have a 9 week old baby I don't think I fancy food poisoning and dealing with him at the sane time tho 😬

It is a best before so should be safe, even if not palatable.

I have have a similar quandary about a Toblerone.

You'd likely be OK, but my conscience would stop me giving it to anyone else. Quick Google says shelf life prob 3-5 years. Does it look and smell OK? I'm stupid enough to try it myself but not risk anyone else. I once ate dried noodles, which were 2 years OOD, thinking they would be fine - I paid a price.

I haven't opened it yet, I always struggle with that stupid little key thing on the side, and if I end up opening the in date tin too I'll probably end up slicing a finger off lol
Plus DP is a truck driver so a bout of the runs on the road would definitely not go down well, I'll probably play it safe 😄

Its fine. I had five year old corned beef this week. Its tinned and processed.

If the tins intact and it looks , smells and tastes ok it will be fine. We’re eating tinned things years out of date. I did give some 15 year old tuna to the cat because I just didn’t fancy it. He survived.

What a coincidence @Wdib78 we've just eaten almost 3 year put if date corned beef for tea tonight! Still here after an hour!!🤣😉

Smell & taste test here, regardless of what the label says about dates.

Unfortunately full of cold, no sense of smell and taste not 100% 😅 not covid as I've tested 3 days on the bounce.
If I asked DP to taste smell etc then he'd know it was 3 year out of date and would bin anyway 🤭

Oh ladies I've just read the bottom of the can properly 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Pic attached.
Tired new mum brain 🤣

At least we know its safe for 5 years

You've got form for leaving it for years OP, eat it soon !

🤣🤣🤣

I used the other tin which has next years date on , luckily I looked at the bottom of this tin before throwing it away 😅

While I wouldn’t eat corned beef unless I was on the point of starving, if it’s been kept cool and not in sunlight, and the can is not dented or rusted, it should be safe to eat.

Disclaimer - yes I am a snob when it comes to corned beef, I remember it from childhood, and not fondly.

Best thread ever! This has made me laugh, exactly the sort of thing I would misread too!! So, in theory, you're good until 2027 applying the 3yr out of date rule!

You could still eat the tinned stuff Captain Scott never got around to

If the can is in good condition and not bulging, and the contents smell OK then it's probably fine. I would, but I have form for eating things that are years out of date. Chocolate 7 years past it's use-by was the most revolting!

😁

Oatibix a year out of date (and it had been opened) was not a nice experience.
