Is soup still edible if the best if used by date is August of 2008?!
Answers:
As long as you heat it to over 160 degrees, it won't harm you; it may still taste like crap, but it won't harm you.
Canned food does not really go bad. well it does eventually but not for a long time. If it tastes like crap don't eat it ! lol But ive never died from eating out of date canned goods nor gotten sick. I'd go for it. But if canned food didn't have an expiration date we would never replace the old cans and they wouldn't make as much money. =) Enjoy your soup!!
In most cases it will be, but without how it's been packaged it could be dodgy.
If it is in a can, or a packet you would be safe to cook and eat.
Better safe than sorry.
No.
technically yes, but should you... NO!
