oh lordy , gave ds2 a packed lunch that contained

[cheeryface]

a fromage frais 4 days out of date
and hes eaten it

will he be ill?

If he had it for lunch and has been OK since I would imagine he'd be fine?

(or are you scared of tutting lunchtime supervisors talking about you behind your bac )

Only 4 days? He'll be fine. There's loads of safety margin built into the sell-by dates.

thanks i wont worry then lol

oh gosh yes i am also a fan of the sniff & fluff test. he will be fine.

hought you were going to say frootshoot...

Once had a talk by a Danone senior manager who said that yoghurt was better for you about a week after the sell by date and definitely fine for two weeks after

ah well so im a good mum after all then!!

If it looks OK and smells OK then it is probably OK

And I used to be a food microbiologist

OMG. Did it (yog)hurt him?! [grin)

well im guessing he would have been sick by now? he hasnt, hes fine!

Sometimes I think the dates put on yoghurt and fromage frais are just to get us to buy more.

I've started sniffing the pots and I've eaten stuff a week out of date...the dates are just silly for some products.
