To eat fishcakes a day out of date?

Sorry, I'm posting for traffic.

I've got fishcakes in the fridge and didn't realise they were "Use by 02/05". They are just tesco Thai salmon ones.

Do you think they'll be okay? Usually I would just do it but I'm 36 weeks pregnant so can't afford a dodgy stomach right now!

I would if they've been in the fridge.

Unbridezilla · 03/05/2023 14:55

Provided they don't smell, I'd eat them

Skybluepinky · 03/05/2023 14:56

No, not worth chancing it.

DucksNewburyport · 03/05/2023 14:57

I would.

Hazelnuttella · 03/05/2023 14:58

Usually I would. If I was pregnant I might not.
99.9% sure they’d be fine though.

Definitely I'd eat them and in fact ate the Lidl equivalent a couple of days past the use by date last week! Actually they were Thai salmon burgers and very disappointing!

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 03/05/2023 15:17

I would!

Divorcedalongtime · 03/05/2023 15:18

I would but when I was pregnant I didn’t.

DrMarciaFieldstone · 03/05/2023 15:18

I would normally, but probably not while I was pregnant.

spacechimp79 · 03/05/2023 15:19

I would definitely eat them as long as they've been stored correctly.

FastAndLast · 03/05/2023 15:21

I would 🙋🏼‍♀️

GasPanic · 03/05/2023 15:26

I would if they were frozen, but not in the fridge.

Next time if it says on the pack its ok to do so stick them in the freezer.

Season0fTheWitch · 03/05/2023 15:43

I would, cook them very well (maybe even overdone if you're worried). You're 36 weeks so as safe as you can be foodwise.

thebestbirtheraccordingtoDD · 03/05/2023 17:26

I'd eat them after about 3 days let alone one.
The fish doesn't know what date is on its packet

MyGirlDaisy · 03/05/2023 17:28

No I wouldn’t chance it.

elm26 · 03/05/2023 19:51

Thanks everyone, they smelt and looked fine and tasted even better so I'll let you know in a few hours if I'm ill 😂 hate wasting food!
