Meant to do a shepherds pie yesterday but didn't get round to it- mince went out of date yesterday and am hesitant about eating it as I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Normally I'll eat anything if it smells ok, would appreciate everyone's thoughts.
Thank you.

Mince will be fine if it smells ok xx

Why risk giving yourself food poisoning? Ditch it.

Yesterday is fine, the dates on them are j us t a guide. Once it's cooked though it will be fine

If it smells and looks ok, it will be fine cooked.

What do you mean by "out of date"? Is it a Use By date, or a Best Before date?

I’d use it if it smells okay.

I wouldn't eat meat past its use by date even if not pregnant, so definitely no!

Hatscats · 19/10/2020 22:10

I’d use it. It will smell if it’s off.

Thanks all, it smelled fine and tasted lovely.

Lovely to hear OP! I had chicken that was 3 days past the 'date' on Monday - if it smells fine it is fine. Total waste to ditch it - no wonder there's a climate crisis!
