out of date mince

[sherrardk]

Just checked, and the mince i was going to use for tea went out of date yesterday. Is it still ok to use it or should I bin it? Thanks

sherrardk - did they enjoy - sell buy dates are always on the cautious side

[sherrardk]

They wolfed it down - boring meal but they love it.

Still using a 4 pt bottle of milk use by date 2nd March and it is still sweet and nice. They allow a couple of days over and are always ultra careful to cover their backs.

I have said this several times before. Your nose is built to do its job. If it smells good it is and if it doesnt it isnt. Doesnt matter what the little piece of paper says. The job of the piece of paper is to make you buy some more things if you havent had time to use it yet, and, as others have said to cover their backs. I was brought up before things had sell by or use by dates and we were never ill. Funny that.

No meat should be washed as you are only splashing droplets around therefore contaminating other places such as work surfaces etc , so ive read

So ladybird has spoken.....

.....don't wash your meat in the kitchen sink.

Just fry it up and eat the lot.
You'll be fine!
