Would you use sour cream on the exact day that is expired?!
How do you know when it is bad!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The expiration date is there to give you an estimated time and to keep stores from selling product past the date!. Typically you still have a couple days!. Smell it, if it doesn't smell sour and there's no mold it's fine!. But always stick by the good 'ole rule, "when in doubt, throw it out!"Www@FoodAQ@Com
Absolutely!.
Expiration dates are exaggerated by the companies for liability reasons!. They don't want to get sued because you got sick!. So, if something expires in, say, 2 months, the companies will place an expiration date of, like, 1 month to 6 weeks just to be safe!.
also, you need to make sure that what you are looking at is an expiration date!. For example, most dairy products, like milk, don't use expiration dates!. They use "sell by" dates!. If your sour cream says "sell by" then you still have a good 2 weeks left at a minimum!.
And, of course, you could always resort to just smelling it!. Do you know what sour cream smells like!? Because it won't smell like that any more!. also, it begins to turn yellow!.
I hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would, but that's just me!. After the expiration date, I'd use it to bake something like a sour cream coffee cake!.
It's bad when it becomes yellow (or other interesting colors) and hard around the edges!.
Some sour cream manufacturers recommend that you use the back of a spoon to smooth it all back down into an even layer before putting the lid back on it, and it seems to work for me: no crusty bits!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it is the last date of sale, which is different than an expiration date, then the sour cream should be OK to use within a couple days of the SALE date!.
Use your commonsense!. If it doesn't look or smell right throw it out!. As the old cooking saying goes!.!.!. "when in doubt throw it out"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The expiration date is the last day it can be sold!. That does not mean it is bad!. It will last at least 2-4 weeks after the date!. It you see mold then it's time to dump it!. Keep it mind it's the last day store can sell it, and dating varies from state to state!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it had not been opened yet I would!. If it's open and separated really bad throw it away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Of course!.!.!.!. things don't suddenly go bad in one day! I'd use it (as long as it had been unopened and refrigerated) for a week or two after expiration date without worry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Expiration dates are usually well before the product expires becomes stale etc!. However I would use it right away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
