Most of the time, foods don't suddenly go bad the day after the "expiration date". Use your own best judgement. If the texture is different, the appearance looks odd or the odor is off, don't use it. When in doubt, throw it out.

∙ 15y agoIt isn't. That's why it's called an "expiration date." Eating it past that date could be harmful, and you risk getting a disease such as E. Coli. If the food was stored properly as indicated on the package, the food is good to eat quite long after the expiration date. The expiration date is similar to a guarantee, for consumers; for example, restaurants. If you see any change in the food or are not sure, or have doubts, throw the food away. If the food is not stored properly as indicated on the package label it may be bad long before the expiration date.

Are pork chops uncooked good after a week?
If there is no expiration date, or it is not vacuum-sealed or in modified air packaging, I don't recommend eating any meat that's been sitting around for a week, even if hasn't begun to smell yet. If you must eat it, cook it very thoroughly, but I still don't recommend it. A week is a long time for bacteria to grow, and you'd be almost begging for food poisoning.
