When doing the shop the other day i asked DH if we had veg stock in for a soup - he said yep.
he went and checked.
he came back and said yep and it was fine ( i knew it had been there for a while!)
i just made a whole pan of soup, used the stock and it was i think well past its best.
the smell of it is making me 
ive just smelled the stock powder and im sure its off.
there is no salvaging this one is there? off stock must equal soup in the bin i fear...
