I’ve eaten expired sour cream many a time… LOL I am like that guy- if it smells ok, I’ll eat it. I think I’ll reconsider now, though. lol

Well it can happen to everybody to eat something that expired… and if it’s not expired for very long time, it won’t happen anything unusual. The date is set as the product well surely be fresh till then, and only after it can be questioned. It doesn’t mean that one day after that date it won’t be good.

Wow that is one brave soul. If it is out of date it is out of date, why take the chance?

But, it’s SOUR cream. There is a reason they call it that. That’s what my mom always used to tell me.

Certainly seems to be living on edge. These incidences are quite common and this is the reason why you are always recommended to buy products only after you check the expiry date.

Just wondering how dumb the grocery keeper was. Making out the difference in expiry date was 4 but thinking about a life and exchanging the product is what the grocery keeper should think about.

Even i had this kind of problem before. This was when i bought medicines from local store and didn’t noticed the expiry date. It was when i got back home and found the date to be one month old. I was sure that it would be waste of time and energy to bang my head over local medical store desk. I just destroyed them and bought another one the next day!

This is a world of uncertainties and scammers. No one would recognize once you get complaints for their products.

Sour cream doesn’t “go bad” because it’s already “bad”.

You can continue to use it until mold appears.

This guy is dead meat when he gets home with another outdated product. Sooner or later, all us guys learn to do what we’re told to do or else we end up single or worse. Mr T said it best “I pity the fool!”

I cant even begin to imagine the effects eating expired sour cream would have on a person!

While I may have a stomach of iron, I’m also the type, like some others here, that digs for the products looking for the newest one. My dad would keep food around for ages and never let anything go to waste unless it was growing something. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a store trying to sell expired products. I’ll be sure to double-check next time I’m shopping.

I don’t trash stuff that has an expired date that I bought when it was still “good”. It bugs me that people will just throw things out when they’re perfectly fine to eat, but the use by date was yesterday. I mean if it didn’t make you sick yesterday, it’s not going to today. Example, the mayo in my fridge has a “best if used by” date of May 6, 2010. I just opened it last week. It is perfectly fine. Ketchup, mustard, peanut butter, etc. are the same around here. I’ve never gotten sick from doing this. If I think something may be bad, I don’t eat it. Especially meat!

I wouldn’t knowingly buy dairy products that are past the use by date – milk especially. I do look for the furthest off date, and sometimes it doesn’t last that long.

I can’t wrap my brain around the guy’s response, “It’s only four days past expiration …” or the cashier’s inability to make an executive decision on, um, er, sour cream. Maybe the word “sour” threw her off, and she assumed that it’s supposed to make you sick.

I dig for the freshest dates. Duh. Why wouldn’t you? It costs the same as yucky. On the rare occasions that I do fast food and the rarer yet occasions that I order french fries I always check my bag before I leave. If my fries aren’t fresh from the fryer I hand them back. I’ve also been known to send yucky coffee back. Persnickety, I am.

My good lady reckons natural yoghurt is still good well over a week after the date stamped on the pot. With food health and safety inspectors being so vigilant I guess the manufacturers have to play on the side of caution and date well before there is any chance of danger fom their products.
