I love this thead. “I did it, so it must be ok”. Some people have shot themselves in the face and lived. 😀
Either way, as I said above, if it’s a “Best before”, then you use your common sense. If it’s green, and runs away from you then probably leave it. If not, you’re good to go. Best befores tend to be a year after production and are a guide to “freshness”, not a limit on when the food can be used. Sell by is pretty much the same (just a guide for the seller, rather than the consumer).
If it’s a “Use by”, then bin it. Use by is not set by the manufacturer in order to get you to chuck away your food and spend more. It’s a scientific standard that it’s not a great idea to ignore.
