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

As we are barely into June its probably no problem at all. its a best before date rather than a use by date, this means its guidance rather than a safety issue. if its unopened, smells ok and tastes like you expect - then go ahead and bake with it - perhaps it could be kept in the freezer in future.

Knowing me, I'd still be using it in October.

It is a best before date, not a use by date. means it might not be at its best, but can still be used. I would use it!

I use anything, out of date or not!

For what it's worth I'd use it as well - God gave us eyes and noses before Use by and Best before dates :rotfl:

is it just me that had to re-read the original post to check it said 2009 if it said 2008 i probably would throw it!
same as everything else....give it a sniff, if it smells ok, chances are it is

Since shemicaly its close to plastic you will fnd it has a rather long shelf life way past the BBD

This always makes me chuckle Penny, it's as if food will be fine to eat up until the use by date but will then magically become rotten or inedible within minutes of that date being past :rotfl::rotfl:

I'd use the Stork even if it were WEEKS out of date as long as it looked and smelled fine.

I'd be using it still at Xmas if it looked OK. When it's old the surface can be a little darker, so I'd probably pick the lighter coloured bits ... but I wouldn't waste it!
