Title: Expiration Dates
Post by: Mizzkizz7 on July 07, 2018, 08:22:14 pm: Make sure you check your expiration dates on your food products. There was a woman who fixed her son expired pancake batter, she mixed it and made pancakes. just simply making breakfast and her son died because the mix was old but of course mom didn't know. Check your fridge and also can foods. :)

There is a reason that manufacturers have them on there. Beverages can be stretched somewhat past the expiration date. But I do not negotiate on food products. If it is old, discard them immediately.

Post by: dsosnowski06 on July 08, 2018, 07:35:44 pm: I go thru the refrigerator once a week the day before garbage day and check the dates and the pantry and freezer I do once a month. Had my sister make me tea at her house once and it looked funny but tasted OK but when I got home my stomach did not feel right. She later told me that we she finally cleaned her cabinets it had expired 2 years previously.

Eggs you can tell by the color of the yolk when you crack it.(Darker) Expired eggs aren't that bad unless it hasn't been months and months.
