Expiry dates are a function of a society that is overly cautious. Use your senses. There are 2 types of mozzarella; fresh (usually sold in a ball in liquid in a plastic wallet) or processed, which is easier to grate to put on pizzas.
If it's still in the packaging you bought it in from a supermarket the chances are it was sealed under nitrogen (which stops bacterial growth because there's no oxygen). In which case it should really be okay for several months past the expiry date. If you open it and it smells or has mold growing on it then you should discard it. If it appears to be ok then it probably is. To be on the safe side you could use expired mozzarella in a dish that goes in the oven (Pizza, on top of veggie bakes etc) rather than in a salad and the heat will kill any bacteria.
Do be extra careful if you are giving it to pregnant women or people with compromised immune systems - not because I think it's a problem, but if something bad happens you'd be wondering for the rest of your life...
I would not do that.
Consuming unopened mozzarella cheese past its expiration date may not be safe as it can lead to foodborne illnesses. It is recommended to follow the expiration date for food safety.
I would not eat it, who knows how many flies have been on it
You can freeze mozzarella as long as it's in it's original packaging, or you wrap it up a plastic food wrap and remember to put it in a zipper-type storage bag, before thowing it in the freezer. :D
Yes, it is safe to microwave cottage cheese as long as it is done in a microwave-safe container and not for too long to avoid overheating.
Mozzarella is ok. Avoid mould-ripened soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, blue-veined cheeses such as Stilton. All are associated with listeria, which can lead to premature birth and miscarriage. You should also avoid mould-ripened goats' and sheep's milk cheeses, such as chèvre, although hard cheese made from these, for example halloumi and feta, should be safe. You can eat hard cheeses such as Cheshire, Wensleydale, cheddar, Edam, Gouda and Parmesan. Soft processed cheeses like Philadelphia, dairylea, mozzarella, cottage cheese, cream cheese and curd cheese are all safe even if not marked pasteurised.
Mozzarella cheese should have no harmful affects on your baby during pregnancy. -Traditional Mozzarella cheese, is made from un-pasteurised water buffalo milk - this should be avoided. Most cheese available at the supermarket is made from Pasteurised cow milk and is safe. Always read the label to confirm that Pasteurised milk is used, and ask at a restaurant. The most common use of real traditional mozzarella is on cold anti pasta dishes, which should be avoided anyway as contains cold cuts of meat etc. To summarise cheese eating rules while pregnant- 1. Cheese must contain only Pasteurised milk. 2. Cheese must not contain any mould, this rules out blue vein cheese, it also rules out cheese with a bloom exterior such as Brie or Camembert
Yes, as long as it is a cheese without mold such as blue cheese.
I suppose it all depends, well if you have a really strong stomach then it might be okay, but i wouldn't suggest trying to eat green cheese
You cannot use Benzaclin after the expiry date. The expiry date is there to inform you of the latest date it is safe to use the product.
It depends on individual tablets and when it was produced. Check the label and it will show the expiry date
