Out of date mince

[Sunshine6195102]

Would you cook 2 day out of date mince? Thanks

I find mince goes off really quick when out of date. I would look and smell it and judge it from there

No I wouldn't.

Id eat a lot of out of date foods, but not meat unless I'd frozen it

I would if it smelt ok. I'd expect it will be fine.

I'd probably use beef, but not pork, lamb or chicken.
Best way is to smell it.

No.

I'd sniff the beef mince and if it passes that test, I'd cook it thoroughly.
Off-meat smells wrong.

(I would not trust my nose this way when suffering from covid - however mild- as it does mess with the detection system!)

If it was chunks of beef or a slab I would if it smelt ok. Stuff like sausages, burgers or anything made of bits is more high risk.

Another one who uses the sniff test here. There can be so many variables when it comes to dates on meat - how it was stored, temperature of your fridge, etc.

Definitely not - especially not beef or pork mince.

Thanks all. It smells and looks ok so I have decided to cook it and very thoroughly. Wish me luck 😂

Yes. Because I tend to think supermarkets err on the side of caution with use by dates. I also grew up with a mother with incredibly lax attitudes to food dates who is still going strong in her 80s without issues. I have adopted a slightly less lax approach, but it has seen me through to my mid 50s without incident so far. Look and smell and far more important than the date.

No way. As other people, I would also eat other foods out of date, but not fish of meat. I don't even want it on their limit date. I normally buy meat or fish to cook on the same day or the next, and look that it has a few days left. Meat and fish should be as fresh as possible. Chicken sometimes starts to smell even when it is on date.

Thanks all. Just to confirm I cooked it and was totally fine afterwards 😊.
