Is it use before or best before? As midgey said smell it or eat a little bit, but if your sense of smell /taste isn't too good it's not always a good indication.

It’s “use before”…
It has been in the fridge since it was bought, I’ll open and smell and try a little piece. 😱

Chucking it out will be preferable to chucking it up.

Is it ‘use by’ or ‘best before’?

If the former, I would not be too keen. 11 days over is quite a lot.

And I usually say, ‘oh eat it, it’ll be fine’.

But that sounds rather past best, even for me.

hmm

Throw it!

Smell it! That’s what I’d do. After all it has been smoked.

Hello! What do you think?
Just found an unopened pack of Smoked Salmon dated use before 21st December.
Do I risk it or throw?
