Out of date coleslaw!

[CCC12]

we’ve all accidentally eaten some coleslaw (was unopened) that’s use by date was two days ago. Going on holiday tomorrow… are we in for a terrible night??? It tasted okay…

Er, no, it’ll be fine.

Surely you’re joking. I wouldn’t even think to check the date on anything apart from raw meat or fish. The dates are so cautious.

It’s just cabbage, carrot & mayo etc. It will be fine. The worst thing that would happen would be that it tasted a bit fizzy.

If it looked and tasted good enough to eat you’ll be fine.

Two days is nothing. You will be fine

I throw caution to the wind about use by/best before dates but the only times Ive had food poisoning in the UK twice was with M+S coleslaw. It was in date!

Thanks all. Sometimes a panicker! Only about travelling tomorrow really.

😱😱😱😱

If it's not fizzy it's fine!

Agree i had food poisoning from kfc coleslaw when i was younger

As others said, it tastes fizzy if it’s off.

If it wasn’t open it’s probably fine. But coleslaw, due to the mayo, is one of those things I dump quickly if it’s not eaten . As in ‘open today, use today, tomorrow, dump after that’.

Coleslaw is one of the few things that can go bad quite quickly and will cause harm. It does have raw egg yolks in the mayo.

Coleslaw has a three day open life

If the tub was sealed, kept in the fridge, hadn't started to blow and didnt taste fizzy, you will be fine

Commercial mayo is pasteurised.

It will be absolutely fine

The OP ate the coleslaw nearly two years ago. She's long gone by now!

I hope you mean that in a nice way !😀

I readily play fast and loose with use by dates, but 2 year old coleslaw is a step too far even for me.

You’d know if it was off. It goes fizzy!

My DH eats coleslaw weeks out of date. Either it's fine or he has a constitution of iron.
Agree with pp who say it goes fizzy (probably a while before it becomes toxic)

Gosh, I hope not😂
