If you have "Sour Cream" past the best eaten by date...

[Mia62]

Is it still good? I mean, it is already sour, right?

I just made some chili and I want to put a healthy dollop of sour cream on it along with some grated cheddar cheese BUT my sour cream has a best before date of March 3 and today is March 13...

Advice???

Don't eat it, toss it.


I know someone who used the "it's sour cream, right" arguement and the results were not good.


Double the cheddar cheese on your chili.

Call the poison hotline. They helped me with a milk issue the other day!

As long as it was sealed, I would eat it...the date on the package isn't some magical date when suddenly it goes bad, it's just a date that they can guarantee quality.

I've used it beyond expiration

it just gets thinner in consistency. Just got me thinking how do I ascertain my blue cheese has gone bad?

Differing opinions...this isn't helping me!! Survivor starts in 2 minutes and I was planning to eat dinner in front of the TV.

Everything has a use by date anymore.

Depends on how risky you live,, especiallly around the toilet.

Why didn't you say so? It clearly states on most packages of sour cream that it is okay to eat past expired date while watching Survivor. Duh.

Seriously though...smell it. If it smells like something other than sour cream...back away and put the carton down. If not...well, have at it. I personally never take a chance with food poisoning. Nasty shit will put you down for days, let me tell you. Just get a bad burrito in mexico and watch the fun ensue.

put a little on your tongue; if it doesn't feel all tingly, it's fine.

Years ago this would have been funny, but the truth is, drug-resistant bugs are amongst us even in the good 'ol USA.

I had some rice last semester that was 4 months past the date about a year ago. I thought, "rice doesn't go bad, right?"

Wrong, I spent the next 4 hours in my bed with stomach pains.

usually you can eat something that is past the experation date give or take a few days.

*EEeep*

I took the plunge...I just cannot eat my chili without sour cream...but I did take the advice offered and did double up the cheese...as well as washed it all down with some wine.

So far so good....oooohhhhhhhhHHHHH...eeeekkkk...maybe not...




















heh....Just kidding.
