Re: Out Of Date Food

I'm not the least bit fussy about expiry dates on products. Manufacturers put them on in order to cover themselves, especially pharmaceuticals. I once took some Brufen when I had the flu and was aching all over. Not only did the Brufen expire 2 years previously but it had also been prescribed by the vet for my dog......... Yes it was dispensed at the vets too... When I looked at the tablets they looked exactly the same as human Brufen and were the same dosage so I took em. They helped the aches and pains no end...

Most of the contents of my fridge and kitchen cupboards are expired, either by days, weeks and sometimes months. I only chuck stuff away when it starts to grow new stuff. I should probably have a health warning on my kitchen door as my kitchen is where food comes to die......

Having said all that, it is as rare as rocking horse manure that I ever get any kind of stomach upset...
