Why is it considered unhealthy to conserve foods after the best before or expiry date?

Depending on the kind of food it is, it might go bad on that date. Most of the time, you can go a week past the expiration date. On canned foods, you can ignore the expiration date, because they are good for several years. Dairy and bread products are the ones you want to watch for. Also, there are often two ways they say it: "Use by" and "Sell by". "Use by" means, it will be best if you use it before that date. "Sell by" means you have about another week. Typically. If you are ever unsure about a product, throw it away. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Why it is considered unhealthy to consume foods after the expiry dates?
Foods are "sterilized" before they leave the production facility, but that process is NOT perfect. After a certain length of time, it IS possible for bacteria to grow, even in a perfectly sealed containers, thus spoiling the food AND causing you to contract food poisoning. The manufacturer will GUARANTEE the food be healthy and safe ONLY up until the expiration date. After that, the food could become contaminated, and it should be thrown away. note that if you eat "expired" food and get sick, you will have NO legal recourse against the manufacturer!
