That isn't an expiration date.
This.
It does NOT say "expires" ... it says "Best if used by" ...
This means the taste/texture/consistency may change... but its still edible.
As a bachelor, I ate all kinds of expired food and it never killed me. :awe:
Now that I am married, that is no longer allowed.
It's not an expiration date, but most milk jugs say best by (insert date 2 weeks in future). You wanna try tasting milk 2 months down the road? It's not expiration right?
LOL...I live with my gf now. Anything that shows the slight evidence of being old gets thrown away. It has been the source of numerous arguments.![]()
Yogurt and salad dressing are two examples of things I used to eat all the time after their date. For yogurt, if it was a month or so "expired," it was fine. For salad dressing, I had dressing years beyond the date and still ate it. It was fine.
PB? Yeah, I ate it after it was very old, maybe even a couple of years beyond the date. About the only line I would draw was with meat or milk.
Ok, i have to ask. If the jar was opened during the two year time, why has it taken you two years to eat a single jar of tasty peanut-butter?
Maybe it is just because i love peanut-butter, but a jar will not last more than a month around me alone. In my families home, the big jars would only last about two-three weeks.
