Hi all

Just a quick one- I have some Stork for baking dated best before 30 May 2009. Will it be ok to use?

Thanks

    I agree that if it looks & smells ok it'll be fine. I would have thought that there'd be enough in it to keep it alright for a week or so at least.

    Yes, I'd use it too, but then I lived in the days before use by dates.

    I would also use it as I hate waste. My adult children tell me they are going to have that inscribed on my grave stone. Forgot to include I think best before is much safer than use by date

    Use it.

    Unless it's mouldy - in which case, scrape off the mould and then use it.
