Out of date mash - safe to eat?

[fifitot]

In my fridge is some 'fresh mash' from M and S (I know I'm lazy and should do it myself but........). Just noticed it is 4 days past sell by date. It's just potato thogh - would it be safe or am I taking a risk to eat it?

has it not got milk or cream mashed in with it? If so, then I wouldnt eat it.

If in doubt through it out

say no to waste..it' be fine! I'd eat it no problem.

throw it away...it has starch in it and like rice ,it goes off really quickly....c'mon 4 days....youve got to be joking!!!!

Can you clarify if it's a Sell By or Use By date?

Use by.....think I will throw it. Shame.

Thanks for replies.

Stinkyfeet - are 'sell-by' dates still in use? Ive never seen this for years only 'use by' and 'best before'.
