 Food Use by Dates
Topic Originator: parsmad68

Searching in my cupboard for tea tonight I came across a Patak’s Tikka Massala sauce with a use by date of 2019. I doubt that this will be anywhere near the best so I was interested in your oldest thing in your respective larders and what the offending item is?
No prizes except manky kudos.

Not me, but a few years ago, probably around 2017 I found spices in my MILs house from 1998. They moved into their current house in 2003 meaning it had been out of date when they moved!

I actually did a bit of a cupboard clear out today, some noodles from 2019 got binned. Might have been okay

Not food in my case but a tub of germolene.

Summer 2022, I’d stood on a (poor) bee 🐝 and applied a liberal dose of Mither’s “remedy”.

Then clocked the date on the underside of the tub - 1986.

Me = deid

Me and the mrs done a clear out a few years back and had the same premonition of finding food that was out of date before she had even bought her flat! Luckily I think out worst was only 3 or 4 years old at worst and was maybe a ready meal pasta or something
