I ate this now what?!
Answers: a custard tart that was in the fridge and i didn't notice the date but it was 4 days out of date. do u think this is ok? hmmm..
Dont worry about it as long as you,r not feeling sick,Ive done it loads of times.
it will be fine
If you ate it and it tasted ok enough for you to eat the whole thing...then you should be fine. the expiration dates are just a guideline...not law! you should always go by your sense of smell and taste to determine if something is ok or not.
probably fine.
It really should be fine. Generally it says best before, which means the quality would start going downhill from then.
No probs mate
You`ll soon find out if it wasn`t, be prepared with the extra soft loo roll.....
Usually 5-7 days after the "sell by" date is when food starts to go bad (so say the experts) that is, if it is kept properly, for instance, in the refrigerator, well sealed, and was taken care of right away after being either purchased or used.
Now if it had been left out for say, overnight, and then put in the fridge, then I would be worried. But if it has been in the fridge since it was purchased, or used and put back, then it should be fine.
In other words, don't worry... :p
It's probably fine. I don't think..."things going off at midnight"
You have to take notice of the dates, of course....I think in your case...no problema.
ps.Perhaps you should sign in here.. every half hour...just in case:)
There is quite a margin on sell-by dates so I'm sure it's OK.
You'll be ok. don't be worrying.
let me know if your alright, because i got one in my fridge thats 4 days out and i'm hungry. lol only jokeing.
should be fine, you would have tasted if it was off.
The worst that might happen is it would give you diarrhoea, but shops usually build in a 'safety margin' for just this type of situation. Had it been 'off' you would have noticed and not eaten it.
You are probably just fine, those expiration dates usually have about 4-5 days of wiggle room. Good luck.
it must have smelled and tasted ok, or you wouldn`t have eaten it, you will be ok
