Smoked Salmon out of date

Farzanah 100% agree.

OP, I’m glad you threw it out, as I was once really ill after eating some smoked salmon that was only two days out of date. It tasted fine but wasn’t.

Anything out of date I always ask my OH to try first.
If he says it’s ok then we eat it 😂

It’s odd how the myth persists that if food looks, smells and tastes ok it’s safe to eat. Who would eat food that didn’t? Bacteria and viruses can lurk unannounced in food that doesn’t seem off. Best to take note of best before dates.

Wouldn’t risk a late date with any kind of fish or seafood!

Ooh, I couldn’t bear the waste, but I wouldn’t eat it! I’d give it to my cat, or if no cat, put it outside for the local moggies, if no moggies, chuck it up on the garage roof for the birds!

I'd bin it. I have too many health problems on the go without inviting any more!!

I think it would be fine if vacuum packed and still sealed and refridgerated.

I'm glad you threw it, it was way out of date. It's not just the bateriums that are no doubt present but the toxins they have produced too.
Babies can't have smoked salmon until at least one year old, same with honey.

I reluctantly threw away some missed uncooked sausages yesterday dated 27/12 .
Fortunately we have a food waste collection so didn’t feel quite so guilty. I added a bag of out of date salad to the vegetable soup I made and that was quite tasty !

Agree throw away!

We had some that was just a couple of days out of date, it was an unopened pack and smelt and tasted fine. My daughter was here and I didn't let her anywhere near the pack showing the date, but if it had tasted odd she would have picked it up.
I usually keep things like this in the coldest part of the fridge, or even freeze them sometimes if they have a shorter date than I really need. Salmon defrosts very quickly.

I don’t like to waste food but was absolutely the right idea to throw it away. Any chicken or fish lurking in the fridge that is just past its best gets binned by me, once had Salmonella from eating out of date chicken that looked and smelled fine. Never again. It took months for me to recover.

I just wouldn't risk it with fish but glad to see it went in the bin anyway

Best before = okay…. Use by = Bin it…. I wouldn’t risk it!!! Is it worth the risk???

Glad you threw it away. Not worth having food poisoning.

11 days over the ‘use by’ date is well over. Bin it.
The worst food poisoning I’ve ever had, was from a pack of prepared ‘washed and ready to eat salad’ from a very famous store.

Wise decision DollyD. Smoked salmon is cold smoked, but not cooked, so it still has bacteria in it, which multiplies over time. I wouldn’t eat it past the use by date.

Eat Uncooked fish out of date?

Are you mad?

Smell it, taste a tiny bit...you can always spit it out and if ok I would eat it. I've done just that with smoked salmon I found under my cheesebox in the fridge, roughly the same vintage. Fishy smelling or slimy is not good.

I'd never risk it with any fish or meat! sSmojed or not!

I really wouldn't, it's a week and a half out of date not a day [shock

Id probably bin it - remembering all too well when my mum brought me a sizeable piece of smoked salmon from Canada in her handbag (plane)
I have never been so ill. T G nobody else had eaten any, I literally spent the night on the bathroom floor

Sorry but that made me laugh out loud, not that you were sick, but the thought of your mum putting it in her handbag, I bet she had to throw that bag away 😂😂

Have to report, even though it smelt ok, it’s gone in the bin, luckily bin collections tomorrow.
I was too scared to try it 🤣 but thanks for all your advice.

just eat it i would, but then i take no notice of the dates on things anyway.
many years ago when i was young nothing had a use by date, and most people did not have a fridge so i still use the standard tests used by my mother and grandmother, if it looks alright and smells alright then eat it!
