out of day stirfry sauce...

[shiato storm]

dated 30th march...would it be alright to use still only 7 days late? packet is sealed pouch type.

yay or nay?

[Flibb]

Go on eat it.

If we dont hear from you for a while will assume youve got food poisoning

Then again rampant craps can be an aid to weight loss

[Rave]

What's it's intended shelf life? If it's two years and it's one week out of date, it'll be fine. If it's only a week, and it's a week out of date, that's a bit more dodgy....

[tiggerai]

yeah should be fine, i just tend to cook slightly out of date things that little bit longer

[Nick]

To qualify Rave's and 'rai's statements...

If its a fresh product with a short shelf life, you'd be best off not bothering... a two week life and being a further week out of date is well dodgy.

However, a long shelf life and being a wekk over isn't as bad... and they usually give these things plenty of leeway for consumers abusing storage conditions etc.

BUT... be careful, with packaged products, the bacteria that may be reproducing will be doing so without any oxygen as this is a sealed packet... The ones that can do this are really pretty nasty fellas, botulism being the most famous/notorious... no amount of cooking will help you there as it's the toxins the bacteria produce that make you ill, not the bacteria themselves, so it doesn't matter how well you cook the food, the poisons are still in it...

[Moby-Dick]

but if you do get botulism , think how wrinkle free you'll be

[nichomach]

Shiato Storm's new look?

[scotty6435]

She is a sad, sad case of 'eating out of date food' syndrome...... honest

[iranu]

Oh man I hope poor Shiato don't turn out like that after a dodgy stir fry sauce......man I've seen her on telly in a bikini and it ain't pleasant I can tell you.

[shiato storm]

no no, i'm quite alright...thankfully I lost none of my adonis looks in the process. and it tasted great had some left over too that I munched down yesterday evening.
