Ready made pastry out of date

No, I wouldn't.
You could cook a tiny bit of it to test, I suppose?

If it looks ok and smells ok use it ,

Why would you waste it, highly unlikely to be off!

If it's the right colour I'd use it. If it has gone a bit grey, then not. Look, sniff and then decide!

It will be fine baking will kill bacteria I would use it I hate waste.

In my experience it goes dry or mouldy after a certain length of time - if that hasn’t happened, go for it!

No problems at all. I fit looks good and smells good. Remember, all use by dates are very conservative. I keep pastry in the freezer, no need to worry about use by dates.

I would definitely use it if it’s been kept in the fridge. Something has to smell awful or have mould on it before I throw it away. If you don’t think you will use it before the best before date, pastry freezes very well.

Thanks everyone. Will make a quiche tomorrow then
