The sell-by date on food products is a guideline for stores to know how long to display the product for sale. It is not a safety date. The safety of consuming pimento cheese after the sell-by date depends on factors such as how it has been stored (refrigerated at the correct temperature), if there are any signs of spoilage (such as off odor, mold, or unusual texture), and if the packaging is intact. If the pimento cheese appears and smells normal, it is likely safe to eat even after the sell-by date, but always use your best judgment and when in doubt, throw it out.
Yes, some Bilo stores do carry Palmetto Farms pimento cheese, but availability can vary by location. It's best to check with your local Bilo store directly or look on their website for specific product offerings. If they don't have it in stock, they might be able to special order it for you.
no you cant
Yup.
No not to sell cheese. However, you do need a cheese license too import cheese.
Sharp cheddar cheese can often be safe to eat a year after the sell-by date if it has been stored properly. Hard cheeses like cheddar have a lower moisture content, which helps inhibit bacterial growth. However, always check for signs of spoilage, such as mold, off smells, or unusual texture, before consuming. If in doubt, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).
A sell-by date does not really keep food safe. It protects the processor and store from some liability and loss. For a potentially hazardous food, it would hopefully be sold well before before spoilage takes hold or any pathogens reach a toxic level - but then I'd expect an expiration date, not a sell-by. It is not the sell-by date alone that keeps food safe. It has to be handled and stored properly, too, including after the sale. Sell-by dates are usually guides for quality, not safety.
If you are not a child or a pregnant woman, then it mightbe safe to eat refrigerated fish one day after the use by date... but I wouldn't go past that.
It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.
I called Kroger and talked to the butcher and he said no. I noticed that Kroger has a sell by date and a stamp on the package said use or freeze by the same date , so he was probably right.
I wouldn't eat it......
It is generally not safe to eat cottage cheese that has been stored for six months, as it is typically only good for about one to two weeks after the sell-by date if properly refrigerated. Even if it looks and smells fine, harmful bacteria could have developed. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as an off smell, unusual texture, or mold. When in doubt, it's best to discard it to avoid foodborne illness.
