My friend always uses it the following Xmas and says it is fine. Any else!
I can remember when mincemeat actually had meat in it.
It's not, throw it away!
No it is not. Use stainless steel or plastic.
Shelf-stabled smoked salmon that has a water activity below .85 does not need to be refrigerated until opened. Once opened, it should be placed into an airtight container and refrigerated for up to two weeks.
The pH of grapefruit by itself is low enough to prevent the growth of pathogens. What we don't know is the pH of the jarred product and if there has been any cross-contamination. For quality purposes, keep the opened jar refrigerated and use it within a few days.
no - it isn't safe to use on sandwiches either i recommend you throw it away and get another pack
If the pie crust has been kept refrigerated, and is only a few days past the expiration date, then it is safe to use.
It may or may not be good. I would not recommend that you use it.
Sell-By Date: Refers to the last day a retailer can display a product for sale; typically a food is safe to eat for 10 days after the Sell-by Date if refrigerated properly.
There seems to be two theories here. Some say use by expiration date, which sometimes is a year or so after the purchase date. Others say seven to ten days after opening. These are vastly different periods of time. So which is it? Can an opened juice container be left in the fridge for months and still be safe to consume as long as the date hasn't passed the expiration date?
Yes, it is safe to eat salad dressing that was from the super market shelf without refrigerating it first. These bottles are packaged so that they are shelf stable up until their "use by" or "best before" date as long as they remain unopened. Once they have been opened, they should be stored in the refrigerator because that seal has been broken and now microbes and mold can start to grow. However, if you purchase salad dressing from a refrigerated (cold) case in the super market, you must store put that in your refrigerator immediately. These are not shelf stable.
I think the best answer is "it depends." Has the jar been opened? Has it been refrigerated? If so, at what temperature? In circumstances of testing the "goodness" of a food - you should trust your senses. How does it smell, look, taste, etc. If it appears to be normal it is probably still good.Having said that, I do ask - why not just buy a new jar?
