I had a rotten egg last year. Ruined a batch of peanut-butter cookies.

To me air is the enemy. Egs. if we have expired sour cream that’s sealed and never been opened (rare in our kitchen) I’ll open and use it. On the other hand I’ll toss out sour cream that’s been open for a while even if it’s NOT past the expiration date. No science, just me.

The art of fermentation was originally developed as a way to preserve things. If fermented dairy products look good and smell good, they should be fine. When they go off they get moldy or smell off. And if it’s cheese mold, you can often just scrape off the top and what’s underneath is fine, maybe even improved.

I read that pink mold on food is the most dangerous.

If you are alive in 20130 definitely throw it out! J/k it’s probably fine. OTOH it’s not that expensive to buy a new one and save yourself worry

I was half joking. We threw it out. It’s not worth the potential hazard. I’d be interested to see if anybody has any food in their house with an older expiration date.

I tossed most of my old stuff in the remodel so I can’t compete. But here is a Subreddit for you…

I definitely have open bottles of alcohol, spices, peppermint extract, and almond extract older than that.
