Guest Seriouss Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Maybe I didn't mean 'con' exactly. But I just want to know if anyone has ever got sick because they ate out of date food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddaz Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I've been thinking, is this just a big con?You can tell my looking at and smelling food if its ok to eat.I don't know ANYONE who has got ill by eating food past its 'use by date', have any of you??No its not a big con.The chemicals/preservatives that get put in all kinds of foods these days makes it very hard TO PROPERLY know for you sure. In most case you can munch something thats out of date & be cool.I know of ppl who got sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the same as best by date.BEST BY DATE = When it should be consumed/eatedn by but at times u can eat it after & it you'll be cool.

Guest M12 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 in prison they feed them with stuff thats past the use by dates.use by dates are to cover companies backs. so you cant claim if you get ill before the date on the package. if it looks and smells ok i will eat it. but if it tastes off i will leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
