To cook and eat chicken dated 9sep

[Ceci03]

It looks and smells ok... wwyd ????

I'd eat it.

I wouldn't.

Not unless you enjoy D&V.

Most bacteria that cause food spoilage have no smell!

What do you think people did for the millenia before bb or use by dates?

Just cook it properly.

I wouldn't by DH would. Just no.

Died of food poisoning quite often.

If it smells ok then yes

No. Open a can of beans..

Also if it has spoiled, all the cooking in the world won't make it safe to eat because the bacteria produce toxins that cooking can't remove.

I'd eat it.

This isn't true at all. Just because it smells okay does not mean it is safe to eat.

If you buy meat from a butcher's it doesn't have a best before date. You just trust your instincts re smell/appearance.

I wouldn't. Food poisoning is absolutely horrific especially when it's chicken.

The heat from cooking kills germs/bacteria, it can't fix food that is off.

I'd chance it within the following 24 hours if it smelled fine but not this long.

Not chicken no

It's only 2 days! It's totally fine if it's smells ok

I've never known fresh chicken not to stink to high heaven after its use-by.
I've eaten mince(d beef) a day or two after its date, if it smells and looks ok. But chicken seems more risky somehow.

Has it been sitting on a kitchen counter since you bought it?

Or in the fridge or freezer?

If refrigerated or frozen after purchase you're fine.

It will smell if it's off. It's that simple. If you cook it to piping hot all the way through I can't see how you'd get sick.
