Freezing Mince on use by date

[Notfeelinggreattoday]

Had a hectic weekend and illnesses not used some of food shop from tesco
Just looked have chicken goujons out of date yesterday - so will put in food bin
But also have mince with use by date of today ,will that be ok to be put in freezer and use another day ?

Of course

Yes and the goujons will be fine too

Yes I'd freeze and use both.

Me too.

I would cook the chicken freeze them and just freeze the mince as is.

Precisely what I would do @Mrsjayy

I’d would have eaten the goujons. But yes you can freeze on use buy.

I’d freeze both

I'd have no problem eating the goujons a day past their use by date, and you can freeze the mince on use by as well.

I'd have eaten the goujons today and made up a nice bolognese to refrigerate for tomorrow's supper.

I'd bin the chicken because chicken scares me, but I've just frozen some mince 2 or 3 days past the use by date because it still looked the same and the packet hadn't puffed up or anything.

Mince is fine- that’s what happens when you buy it yellow-sticker and freeze at home. One day over is fine too, they date on the conservative side.

I think you probably did the right thing with the chicken as it’s processed meat so hard to tell if it’s gone off. Although I would have eaten it!

It’s fine as others have said - but I tend to fry it the freeze it so I can bring the ‘ice cube’ in with tomatoes etc for bolognese in the future. Frozen mince tends to stay in the freezer ages as it’s too hard to deal with as difficult to cook from frozen and I’m crap at remembering to defrost. Personally I would eat the goujons too.

Chicken and mince will be fine. The chicken doesn't know it went Ood at midnight. If it smells ok it'll be good to eat
