Would you eat Trex 3 months after the use by date?

[Titsalenabumflop]

I have some Trex with a use by date of December 2022. Would you use it? It smells fine. It's a whole pack.

Took me several reads to understand you weren't asking about dinosaur. I would avoid eating dinosaur.

If the trex looks and smells fine, hasn't changed colour or texture, it is likely fine.

Yep!

What's a trex?

Is trex like lard?
And you'll be cooking with it?
Should be fine

I have done. It's fine as no meat or dairy, just sniff to be sure.

Hey there is nowt wrong with a Dino burger ! 😁

If trex is lard it will have meat derivatives in it but as long as its been kept cool and unopened I think it will be fine.
Try warming a little bit up and sniff it , if it doesn't smell rancid / fishy it should be fine.

I am curious to know what you are cooking now though.

Ahh I should of Googled before replying, all veggie so should be fine .https://www.ocado.com/products/trex-vegetable-fat-43789011

Couldn't make that stuff go off! I am using up 5 yr old stuff from the freezer now to be fair but I wouldn't think to look at a date on it as it's practically indestructible. Makes lovely pastry though half and half with butter.

If it's a Best Before, you're probably ok (although fats can go bad)

If it's a Use By, then bin it. Use By is absolutely date limited.

We are talking about pure vegetable fat though. Can rancid fat make you ill or does it just taste horrible?

I think mine was older I used it last week im still here

Just tastes horrible mainly, doubt you'd eat enough of gone off fat to make yourself ill as it's a horrible taste, never had gone off trex but have had gone off butter in pastry, you'd smell it before you got a chance to take a bite!
