I have just been going through my cupboard and my pasta sauces are all out of date! There is a asda tomato and mascarpone pasta sauce which is dated Sept 2006 - do you think this is ok to eat?

    I'd be tempted to have a sniff and a tiny taste - if everything seems OK, I personally would be tempted to risk it.
    Maybe this would be the time to point out I have a cast iron stomach.:D
    I was going to take over the world but got distracted by something sparkly.......

    Oh dear, I should be dead a long time then. I have used packet mixes which were out of date for a year or so and so far only ever thrown one out which smelled weird.

    I think it will be fine. Is it a Best Before date? I would open it and give it a sniff, but I think it would be fine (another cast iron stomach here!)
