Hey! That was my ham!!

most likly not. People put experation dates on things earlier than they are sappose to so that you can throw things out and buy more, and that's proven! And plus, you didnt even open it!

yes,you will get sick.

no the expirationg date is usualy just the that the company can't garentee the taste or safty any longer then that. Usualy foods dont' go bad so fast especialy if you don't open it, if you have normal immune system it shouldn't be a problem

It's better not to eat it, you probabally would get sick because it's in the meat section and is about a week old, so your best bet is to throw it away.

Good chance you will not. Your liver will take care of it.

unless you are dying of hunger, don't eat the sandwich and eat something else. if you don't have anything else to eat, and you have no choice, well i would eat it

why risk you health just for a one dollar product. just throw this one away and get a new one, you will be much happier than getting sick/ stomach problems

If it was me I wouldn't eat it. There's an expirey date for a reason. It might not make you sick but there is that chance and food poisoning is not fun at all. If you went to a restaurant would you want to eat food that had expired? Not likely...so if you think it shouldn't be served to you in an establishment then you shouldn't eat it at home neither.

You would probably get sick if not just something like dierea

probably not but maybe a stomach ache

you wont get sick, you'll just crap it out.

Was the package watery; have air in it; meat slick; meat smells funny; fungus or mold growth?
Personally, I'd toss it; if it was any of the above--and I'd toss it anyway when it got past a "use by" date.

Grocery stores are supposed to pull outdated items to avoid selling something that might make you sick. Sometimes a package has a "sell by" date and sometimes a package has a "use by" date. Sell by date package--use within 2 to 3 days of that date. Sometimes the package can be within the date period and if the package has any of the listed symptoms the grocery store will pull it. If you've bought a package and it does any of the above-- toss it in the garbage.
Use by date--self explanatory.

Next time you purchase meat, separate meat portions with double layers of wax paper and place in freezer container. Pull out amount needed; reseal (double layers make this easy). Thaw, covered, in fridge or microwave. Use within two days after removing from freezer.

If you ever eat something and feel that you need to eject the contents of your stomach; don't try to hold back. Find a proper receptacle to discharge the contents. Your body will let you know! Queasy stomach and headache after eating something suspect generally means that your body doesn't like what you consumed.

If it was still sealed and you have had it in the fridge it will be OK mate.
Just put it in an air tight container and it will last for a week or more.

If what you say is correct you will be OK
