i have a packet of ready made pastry in my fridge that was use by 9th july would you still use it?
It looks ok and smells ok but i wondered if anyone else had ever tried it with pastry and could better advise

Hi there!

If it looks and smells ok, I'd go ahead and use it.

Think of the ingredients it contains , plus it's going to be cooked obviously, so you can't do yourself much harm , can you?

What are the ingredients? If it's just fat, salt and flour then it should be ok as long as it smells ok - fat would go rancid and smell bad if off (and you are going to cook it).
I usually make my own pastry so have never used OOD stuff. I'm someone more knowledgable will be along soon...

It's only four days out of date and I do feel that they 'play safe' when they decide these things. I would use it.

Im going to cook it yeah lol i dont think it would be very nice raw, the ingredients are wheatflour, vegetable oil, water , salt, lemon juice, and preservative: potassium sorbate. It definately smells and looks fine will make a nice meat and potatoe pie with the stewing steak ive just done for dinner. I really should practise my own pastry making but it doesnt always turn out right and its a lot of effort to go too when it goes wrong.
