    Is it a best before or a use by?

    If it still smells ok it should be fine, but you should use it soon!

    I bought some salmon fillets on the 30th yellow stickered, they've been in the fridge the whole time. My mum wants to throw them out coz it's the 1st today, I would've thought they'd still be ok? What does everyone else think?

    I would give them the smell test. If they pass that, i'd eat them :)
