Would You Eat ...

I got three chilled meals from Tesco on Thursday. I wasn't notified of 'short dates' so I just assumed that they would last 4+ days each in the fridge.

However, I have just checked and the Sweet and Sour chicken is 'eat by' 10/7 which was yesterday. Would you eat it?

I am sure that Tesco will refund the cost but I loathe throwing food out.

i'd eat it
For the sake of one day I would eat it, if it looks and smells OK.
I'd eat it too.
I would eat it today
I'd eat it. There is usually a bit of leeway on manufacturers dates as they to be super careful.
As long as it's been in a fridge 24 hrs is not a problem.
I'd eat it with no qualms at all.

Thanks to all of you.
I can't get qualms in the Co-op so I would eat it with other veg ;)
:-))
I'd eat it, and if I was hesitant I would give it to OH!
No, I would have binned it on the stroke of midnight !


Only joking, get real, scoff it now.
Yeah, I'd eat it. Best before dates are only guidelines, food doesn't suddenly perish on it's expiry date.
mozz its not a best before, its an eat by. I would eat it today but not tomorrow.
Yes I’d eat it
'Eat by' means just that - eat by that date or it could make you sick.

'Best before' just means the product may no longer be at its best ( but not gone off) if consumed after that date.

I would not eat it as it contains chicken which goes off pretty quickly.
Yes, I'd eat it.

I ate it and I am still alive. I usually err on the side of caution with food but I wasn't too sure this time.
Hope you enjoyed it :-)
APG if the chicken were raw then I wouldn't eat it either but I think chicken cooked in sauce and sealed in a protective environment is safer.
