Thank you all. I'm going to use the Tuna. I knew I could rely on MSE.

What about tinned cream please with an expiry date of 03 2012? It is "Puck Cream" modified with vegetable oil/Honey taste (Arla Foods Denmark). Smells and looks nice. Would tasting a little be worth it? Or, as it is a dairy based product, not worth it? Thanks.0

Tinned and only dated March this year? Of course, try it. If it smells and looks OK, I have every confidence that it'll taste OK.
PS. I'm not too sure about the name, though.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0 -
Okay, thanks for your reply Stephen Leak.
Yes, that's the name!0 -
Have just found 2 jars of Dolmio pasta sauce at the back of the cupboard. They were out of date March, 2012. I am guessing that they will be ok to use but would appreciate a second opinion.0

Personally, I'd still use them if they were dated March 2011.
Just listen for the noise when you remove the lid and give it a sniff.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0 -
Hi, I'd use them too.Infact I have used things far more out of date than that and survived. I think as long as they have remained sealed tins and jars can be kept for ages.Casey0

I would certainly still use them. Like others said, as long as they're sealed and don't look or smell odd when they are opened...can't see anything being wrong with them
Trying to live a good life on little money :T0
