Help please! Just found 8 pork loins in fridge dated 4th March - any ideas ?????

I hate waste, BUT I would not use them, for the sake of the price, I would not risk food poisoning.

If you do decide to use them (and I wouldn't, and I'm a big disregarder of these dates!!) please don't feed them to your littlies:D They might be OK, and an adult constitution might cope, but i really wouldn't risk it with children. Better in my opinion just to dump them and move on.

Hi Mics_chick,

I wouldn't use them. Like others have said pork is one of the ones to be careful with. If it was me I'd bin them.

I agree, beef or lamb maybe but would not take a chance with pork (or chicken or seafood). Having had food poisoning once (not from my own cooking!) there is no way I would risk going through that experience again just for the sake of saving a few ££.

As other have suggested I would chuck it, not worth the risk.


In future 'fresh' pork loins are great dipped in Hoi Sin sauce (Chinese style BBQ sauce) and roast in the oven, serve with rice and stir fry veg.

You could also use them to make a casserole similar to a sausage casserole (you could make your own sauce or cheat and use a packet mix), add lots of veg, onion, mushrooms, a tin of baked beans and a large pinch of cayene pepper (optional) for a nice filling spicy pork casserole, cook slowly for very tender pork.

Have you got any pets or know anybody with any?

To kill them instead??

If you opened the packet, the meat would probably smell odd and be covered in a slimy layer. Yum.
I left some chicken legs too long. They looked okay, but oh my God, the stench!

In the future, with fresher pork - I like to tenderise it and dip in egg and breadcrumbs, then fry. Heaven.
