I just finished off the last of the eggs that I bought back in March of this year; that's 5 months. They have been kept in the fridge all that time. They looked ok, they smelled ok, and they tasted ok. And I'm still hear to type this message
I go by what my mother told me: If they sink, they're fine. If they stand on end, cook them quick. If they float, toss them.
So this thread is saying that even if I have month old eggs in the fridge, I can cook?
I've had food poisoning. Not sure I'd want to risk it.
As I said in my earlier post, a "best before" date is simply a guide, and not an indication that something is rotten and can't be eaten. Use your senses to guide you.
I have some Ricotta cheese in a container that I bought last year sometime. I haven't even looked at the date, but I know it's long past. I plan on opening it next week to make lasagna. I'll know then if it's spoiled/mouldy. But if it looks ok, tastes ok, and smells ok, I'm using it. I don't believe in wasting good food based on a manufactures date. The owners of these companies make way more money than I do, so maybe they can afford to throw out good unspoiled food based on a date, but I can't, and even I could, I wouldn't.
