To eat an Aldi baking camembert a month past it's use by date?.

Chat GPT said maybe , Gemini said no way, I'll be hugging the toilet.
WWYD , vipers?

I personally wouldn’t risk it

Unless it smells of ammonia, has changed colour or is slimy then it's absolutely fine.

Im going to, as I also have an aldi camembert in the fridge that is weeks out of date. That's tomorrow's dinner.

Oh I haven't checked the date of the one I have in the fridge.

It's Camembert - it's ready to eat when it's made its own way out of the fridge surely anyway!

I'll certainly be eating mine.

I have never checked the date on a camembert. If it isn't a funny colour or has slime etc I would probably eat it. But obviously you have to decide what risks you're prepared to take!

Give it a go and report back.

Based on the festive Stilton I'm still consuming, you'll be fine. Especially with it being baked too.

Isn't it best before date?
Will be amazingly matured. I leave this type always to go few weeks over

Mmmm mixed responses. I've actually got two in there. A chorizo one as well which is only ten days out so I was pretty sure I'd eat that one. ( Damn you Christmas cheese excess!)

It's use by - I hardly never see best before on anything these days I don't think.

I've got two blues I'm still eating. This is one I'd never bother checking the date on , but soft cheese got me thinking of listeria etc.

No idea but watching to see how you get on because I have an Asda baking brie of a similar vintage in the fridge!

Camembert usually isn't even ripe on the use by date so if it looks and tastes fine, it will be fine.

We're ridiculously cautious about expiry dates in the UK and it leads a massive amount of unnecessary food waste.

A French person would probably never think to look at the date to decide whether or not to eat cheese and they'd have it out of the fridge for a few hours before they did too.

Has it been in the fridge all this time??

My DH doesn't like cheese. He regularly clears out the fridge of out of date food.

He NEVER throws away the cheese. He knows better.
If it looks really rank or smells when youve taken off the wrapping then bin it, dish and all. Otherwise crack on!

Pop it in the oven for 25 min , I did this last night and mine was two weeks past date, I put some truffle oil and dipped garlic bread in it !! Was delicious!!

It's been in the fridge the whole time yes! Unopened too

If sealed still, and looks and smells normal when you unwrap, crack on.

ETA, an environmental health officer once told me few things survive being in the oven at 200degrees.

Crack on. It will barely be ripe at a month past use by.

I recently ate one that was 4 days past the date and it made me extremely ill

Normally I’d say yes, but the last Aldi one was a rancid pink stinking mess two days past use by date 🤢

Ok so I'm planning to bake the life out of it , get oven up to 200 degrees and then face plant it with some bread.

I’m a bit of a minger and play a bit fast and loose with stuff like this but a month… I wouldn’t

Nuke it. Sniff it. Cautious first taste then go for it.

Camembert always stink so just eat it unless its gone pink. I eat cheeses way way way past their use by date

I always would have but I recently made myself horribly ill eating Brie that was only a few days past its use by date so I’ll be much more cautious in the future! It was also made with raw cows milks though which made it riskier I think!
