That will depend how well it has been stored and whether or not the package has been opened. I have used unopened cream cheese 2 weeks beyond the package date.
Even if kept in fridge, only about 5 days.
because it is made by churning milk past the butter stage
No
A week.
Shelf life depends on processing, what container it is in and other factors. Cream can safely be kept 7 to 10 days past the expiration date. Heavy cream lasts 2 to 3 weeks past the expiration date.
Possibly. It depends on how long after the date it is, and if any exposure still happened.
Several factors. Does it have a useby date? If so, if it is past it, do NOT use it. If you're less cautious or if it does not have a useby date, does it look discoloured or smell funny? If so, do NOT use it.
Yes, it is bad to use dip past the date, especially if it is a cream dip or anything with a dairy product such as egg or milk.
Centres which sell or give away food past it's best before date
whipped cream can last as long as the expiration date says that it can last. whipped cream on cookies, that would not last that long, the whipped cream would being to lookse its fluff and its taste.

Yes, especially things like milk etc, that is the last sell by date, not use date. which means that if the milk says June 7 it will be good, provided it is stored and kept cool as required for at least 7 days past June 7.
