out of date pastry - would you use it?

[OhCobblers]

Have just discovered a box of Jus Roll in the fridge - would love to make a tart for kids' tea but its dated 18th Jan 11?

too late ???

I probably would provided it looked alright.

There can't be much in ready made pastry that would kill you

But I don't really follow use by dates, if food is bad you can tell.

Yes

Probably the worst that could happen is that the fat might have gone a bit rancid so might taste a bit funny. Solution - lots of filling

I would use it.
