Mozzarella cheese 10 days OOD. use it or bin it?

WantToBeSE

It hasn't been opened, so would you bin it or use it?

As someone who started running my own home in 1968 and spent the first 25 years of my life without a fridge, providing that it has been stored correctly and the packaging in intact I would do the look and smell test and eat it if it passed. My organisational skills are usually pretty good, but we do occasionally find a pack of Mozarella that has escaped down the back of the fridge and gone out of date, never suffered any side effects. Obviously be very careful if feeding anyone who is very young, ill, receiving aggressive medical treatment.:D

I use the same principles as maddiemay and never been ill yet.

Has the package 'blown' like its started fermenting? If it smells and looks ok taste a tiny bit.

Mozzarella tastes fizzy when off

:rotfl:I know!:rotfl:

Thanks everyone. It smelt bad, so I chucked it. Live and learn!
