Out of date taco kit

Taadaa

I just spied a taco kit at the back of the cupboard. When I finally managed to get it down, the use by date is May 2008

I've opened it and the shells look okay tbh, they are shrink wrapped. Should I use them anyway? I've got some mince in the freezer so we could have them tomorrow.

Is it 'use by date' or 'best before date'?
If 'best before' I would definitely use it
For 'use by' I would give second thought, depends how it look like, maybe try just one first>

I think I'd have a smell but probably use it - the spices might be a bit less pungent in the seasoning so might want to add a bit more in.....the tacos themselves should be fine and I can't think there's anything in any of it that would make you ill.......I feed my fiancee all sorts of things like that which are after the best before etc and he's still going strong!

Ive check and it's best before. I think I will use the shells but ditch the sauces. They were probably never that nice anyway. No wonder I forgot about it, it's really odd for me to buy stuff like that! x

At worst, the taco shells might be a bit stale. If you find that they are, pop them into the oven for 10 minutes to crisp them up again.

Great thanks!
