Expiration Dates

Yeah, the same with dented cans, you shouldn't leave those too long in case the zinc gets into the food. Never had any problems there though.

I tend not to worry about things that have gone over the date by a few days, especially bread. Normally I just get reduced loaves that go bad the next day and eat those over the next 3-4 days and there's never any problems. If there's a bit of mould on a slice I'll just pick the mouldy bit off and eat the rest of the slice and it doesn't bother me. Milk's about the only thing I refuse to have past the date; sometimes I even don't like milk a couple of days before the date if it's been open for a while. If it smells different to normal I can't drink it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
