Do you follow Use by and Sell by Dates, and other food safety issues

Chocolate has a best before date on it, not a use by date. So you should be fine using it now (we still have plenty of choc left over from Easter, and Christmas, and it will still be eaten at some point!!!) you will see if its gone manky at all!!

I'll have it if you don't want it.:D I'm willing to sacrifice myself as an out of date chocolate tester.

If it has been kept somewhere cool and dark it should be fine-might have a bit of lighter brown blush on it if it has lost its freshness but that is easy to spot

A certain well know chocolate company, sell chocolate which is at least a yr out of date in their shops, so would be surprised if its not fit for consumption. I`ve ate plenty of it & I`ve not had any ill effects,apart from needing to lose weight.:eek: :rotfl:

LOL, most humourous!

I don't believe old chocolate is hazardous, but don't count on it tasting nice either. It can loose the flavour and become kind of waxy.

I'd go for it. I'm surprised that this years eggs were only dated for April this year. I found easter eggs in my garage that BF had hidden from me as I was dieting at Easter (I always am!). Happy days!
