FFS, we are away a lot this week so I haven't shopped. Thought I had some fridge packs of filled pasta - spinach and ricotta tortellini but it turns out it says use by 6/2. Can't be eaten can they?😞

Sniff/taste test

Oysterbabe · 13/02/2023 18:44

I'd eat them 💁

Sniff test. If it smells and looks fine I'd eat it. I never go by dates lol

I'm a slave to eating stuff within the best before date, I guess you could chance it. I wouldn't but that's just me 🤷‍♀️

Just smell it

YoBeaches · 13/02/2023 18:51

It's processed food so probably ok you'll know by the smell

If it's a meat one, I wouldn't. Though fresh pasta tends to go mouldy if it's gone off, so if it's not, it should be ok.

I'd eat it as long as it looks ok

Some of those pre-filled pastas have a really really long shelf-life anyway, assuming it's a plastic sealed pack supermarket thing, not fresh from a deli counter where it might be less.

I'd sniff it. If it smells alright I'd cook it then sniff it again. If it still smells alright I'd nibble a bit. If it tastes alright I'd scoff it.

I would so long as the pasta isn't cooked
